Cord Phelps Profile

Cord Phelps drove in two runs with two singles to help Cleveland defeat Cincinnati, 4-3, in an Arizona Instructional League game.

Phelps had a so-so second pro season this past summer at Class A Kinston. In 130 games, the second baseman hit .261 with four homers, 27 doubles, five triples, 72 runs and 53 RBI. He showed good plate discipline with 93 walks, but also struck out 97 times. He had 17 stolen bases, but was also caught stealing 14 times.

Phelps finished strong, hitting .351 over his last 10 games with Kinston. He drew 10 walks as opposed to five strikeouts over that span.

A little more was expected from the 22-year-old switch-hitter after he batted .306 with two homers and 22 RBI over 36 games in short-season ball in 2008 after being drafted in the third round out of Stanford.

Phelps has good skills and 2010 will be an important season for him as he likely moves up to Double-A Akron. A good year there would put him on track for time in the majors -- though who knows what his future may be in an organization that already has two young players starting in the middle infield in Asdrubal Cabrera and Luis Valbuena, with highly regarded Jason Donald and Josh Rodriguez trying to break in, too.
