Minor Moves: Phillies, Barfield, Dodgers, Smit

By Zachary Links | March 21, 2012 at 2:46pm CDT

A look at today's minor moves..

  • The Phillies released former Rangers first-round pick Kasey Kiker, tweets Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus.  The left-hander spent six seasons in the Texas farm system, posting a 4.53 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 5.2 BB/9. 
  • The Orioles signed second baseman Josh Barfield to a minor league deal, according to Matt Eddy of Baseball America.  Barfield, 29, last appeared in the majors with the Indians in '09.
  • More from Eddy (via Twitter), who reports that the Dodgers signed right-hander Kyle Smit.  Los Angeles originally drafted Smit in ’06 and sent him to the Cubs in the Ted Lilly deal in 2010. 
  • The Rays released a number of minor leaguers, including left-handers Sergio Espinosa and Robert Dickmann, tweets Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.

    What happened to Barfield? He was pretty good for the Padres for one year.
