Drafted in the 2nd round (57th overall) by the Montreal Expos in 1999 (signed for $607,000)

Brandon Phillips is the best shortstop in the state, though he has his share of detractors. Largely unknown at the start of the year, he is a quality middle infielder with an athletic body, above-average arm and excellent bat speed. He will need to make adjustments at the plate. Like Vince Faison, he has committed to Georgia, but he is considered a relatively easy sign. Those who aren't sold on Phillips say he is just an average runner and does little else.
