The Philadelphia Phillies avoided arbitration with Eric Bruntlett Thursday and signed the infielder to a one- year deal.
Bruntlett, 29, will earn $600,000 this season, plus performance bonuses.
Acquired from Houston in November, Bruntlett hit .246 with 14 runs batted in during 80 games with the Astros last season. In 320 career big league games -- all with Houston -- Bruntlett is a .250 hitter with nine home runs and 50 RBI.
The Phillies also designated pitcher Anderson Garcia for assignment in order to make room for third baseman Pedro Feliz on the 40-man roster.
