The Phillies have signed 29-year old righty swinging 2B/SS/3B Luis Maza to a minor league deal. He played in 100 games in AAA-ball last season and he was 98 for 327 (.300 avg, .768 OPS) with 55 runs scored, 5 homers and 44 RBIs. Maza has also played in 45 games in his major league career and he is 18 for 79 (.228 avg, .561 OPS) with 7 runs scored, 1 homer and 4 RBIs. The Phillies will likely stash Maza in AAA and promote him if the need arises.

The Phillies have signed 29-year old switch-hitting outfielder Freddy Guzman to a minor league deal. Guzman played in 10 games for the Yankees last season and he was 1 for 6 (.167 avg, .310 OPS) with 2 runs scored, 1 RBI and 4 stolen bases. He also played in 101 games in AAA-ball last year in which he was 78 for 350 (.223 avg, .567 OPS) with 44 runs scored, 2 homers, 17 RBIs and 45 stolen bases. Guzman has now played in 47 games in his major league career and he is 20 for 95 (.211 avg, .529 OPS) with 13 runs scored, 1 homer, 7 RBIs and 9 stolen bases. The Phillies will stash Guzman in AAA and call him up if they need a speedy runner/late game defensive replacement.
