8. Juan Pierre (2012)    $800,000 minor league deal

Pierre is one of my favorite signings the Phillies have made in recent years.  Pierre is exactly the player he is advertised as.  He has limited power but will hit .300 and steal loads of bases.  That’s what he did for the Phillies and he did it for a cheap price.  For the Phillies, he hit .307 and swiped 37 bases over 130 games played.  He was a very fun player to watch despite not hitting the long ball.
