Greg Dobbs 

After three seasons in Seattle, Dobbs came to the Phillies in 2007 and became one of the top utility men and pinch hitters in the Major Leagues. He followed a 10 HR, 55 RBI, .780 OPS season in 2007 with a .301 average and .840 OPS in 124 games in 2008.

While hitting was his forte, Dobbs filled in sufficiently at first base, third base, left field and right field.  He was excellent in the postseason, batting .500 in 14 at-bats.

His offensive production fell off the map in his last two seasons in Philadelphia before moving on to the Marlins and Nationals before retiring in 2014.
