Phillies purchased the contracts of RHP Francisco Butto, LHP Eude Brito, RHP Robinson Tejeda, C Carlos Ruiz, OF Chris Roberson and RHP Zach Segovia.
Butto was the highest regarded player on this list at the start of the season, but the Phillies might have considered not protecting him after he went 5-11 with a 4.85 ERA in 14 starts and 22 relief appearances for Single-A Clearwater. Roberson now is probably the top prospect in this group.
