Brandon Emil Phillips (born June 28, 1981) is an American professional baseball second baseman. He plays in Major League Baseball for the Cincinnati Reds. He has also played for the Cleveland Indians.
The Raleigh, North Carolina native was selected in the second round of the 1999 draft by the former Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals) after signing a letter of intent to play both baseball and football at the University of Georgia. He instead signed with the Expos on June 21, 1999.
Phillips was traded from the Cleveland Indians to the Cincinnati Reds on April 7, 2006 for a player to be named later, which turned out to be right-handed pitcher Jeff Stevens. Phillips has had a successful career with the Reds, winning three Rawlings Gold Glove Awards, one Silver Slugger Award, and being selected to two National League All-Star teams. Source: wikipedia.org
