The Phillies, Rockies and Marlins all have interest in free-agent infielder/outfielder Matt Downs, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart.
In 2012, Downs made appearances at first base, second base, third base and shortstop in the infield, and in left field and right field.
He hit just .202/.253/.371 with eight home runs in 191 plate appearances in 2012 in his age-28 season, but hit .276/.347/.518 with 10 home runs in 222 plate appearances in 2011.
Downs also has a career .296/.358/.473 line in nearly 2,000 minor-league plate appearances.
All three interested teams could conceivably be looking at Downs to address a need at third base.
