Published 2/16/2008 by Ken Mandel at Major League Baseball News
On a back field at the sprawling Carpenter Complex, Kris Benson took his first baby steps toward a big league return. The 33-year-old, who hasn't thrown a pitch in the Majors since Sept. 27, 2006, made 60 tosses in front of Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee and many other members of the organization.
