The Pirates signed Phillips after he worked out for several major league teams.  He was a high school star in South Carolina and I've seen references to him as a "mid-week starter" at Spartanburg Methodist, although he pitched only ten innings there.  I don't know why he went undrafted or why he pitched so sparingly in his first year of JC ball.  Newspaper articles referred to him as increasing his fastball velocity from the upper-80s to 92 by the time of the workouts, so maybe he attracted interest by showing added velocity in summer tournaments.  He'll probably open in the GCL in 2010.
