Brandon Emil Phillips (born June 28, 1981, in Raleigh, North Carolina) is a young second baseman for the Cincinnati Reds. He was selected in the 2nd round of the 1999 MLB Draft by the Expos after signing on to play both football and baseball at the University of Georgia (signed w/Expos on 6/21/99). Brandon Phillips was once considered one of the top prospects in the game. The Indians acquired him via the Bartolo Colon trade. He made his Major League Debut on September 13, 2002.
He attended Redan High School (GA) where he played basketball and baseball. His #7 at Redan was retired by the school in December of 2003. Phillips' favorite baseball player growing up was Cincinnati Reds shortstop Barry Larkin. In 2003 he participated in the Giant Eagle Baseball Camps & the Big League Lunch Program. His sister, Porsha, is a talented high school basketball player in Georgia and his 18-year-old brother, P.J., is an up and coming baseball and basketball player at Redan HS. He currently resides in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
[edit] Traded
On April 7, 2006, Cleveland's frustration with Phillips' slow progress peaked and he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds for a player to be named (later turned out to be pitcher Jeff Stevens). After being traded, Phillips made a quick impact with the Reds he was named the NL Player of the Week after getting two home runs and 17 RBIs in a six game period.
