2023 Fantasy Outlook
Phillips is one of the game's great personalities and a defensive wiz in center field, but his inability to make contact has meant his bat lagging well behind. He struck out at a 41.8 percent clip last season with the Rays and Orioles, which, sadly, isn't that far off from his career 37.8 percent strikeout rate. The Angels liked Phillips' defensive prowess enough to give him a major-league deal over the offseason and he could get some run if the injury bug hits Mike Trout again. Read Past Outlooks

Signs with Halos
Phillips signed a one-year, $1.2 million deal with the Angels on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite slashing just .144/.217/.249 across 225 plate appearances last season, Phillips will join the Angels on a major-league deal. He has four of the five tools, with the hit tool being his major weakness, but Phillips' defense and intangibles earned him a spot on the Angels' bench to open the season.

Phillips gained national notoriety with his game-winning hit in the 2020 World Series and has enjoyed both local and national popularity with his humble and entertaining personality. Unfortunately, those are not fantasy scoring categories. Phillips was somewhat productive as a bench player with 13 homers, 50 runs scored and 14 steals in fewer than 300 plate appearances, but was limited to that amount of playing time because of the limitations in his swing. He has a very specific swing path that struggles mightily against lefties as well as elevated pitches, so he is best utilized against the softer-tossing righties and always down in the lineup. Even if the Rays do trade Kevin Kiermaier, extra playing time for Phillips would simply overexpose him. He is a career .202 hitter over parts of five seasons and nearly 700 career PA.
