The Reds had Phillips batting cleanup when they fielded their projected starting lineup in spring training over the weekend.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips once again would have a lot of RBI opportunities batting behind Joey Votto if this proposed lineup was to hold. The full lineup had Billy Hamilton leading off, followed by Eugenio Suarez, Votto, Phillips, Jay Bruce, Devin Mesoraco, Zack Cozart and either Scott Schebler or Adam Duvall.
