Domonic Brown: Eastern League BEAST

By

It could be time to promote Reading Phillies outfielder Domonic Brown up a level...or two...or three...? Currently, the Phillies' top prospect is dominating Double A level pitching throughout the Eastern League.

In 27 games played, Brown's batting average is third in the league at .340 (32 hits in 94 at bats). He is tied for 2nd in the league in HR with 7. Most impressive of all is that Brown leads the EL in OPS (on base % + slugging %). That OPS is 1.088. Not blown away by that statistic? Well consider that the batter who is second in the Eastern League in that category, Metropolitans prospect Lucas Duda, is over 100 points behind Brown. Duda's OPS sits at .983 through 32 games played this season.

The lefty hitter, Brown, even turns heads where, perhaps, he shouldn't. Against left-handed pitchers, Brown is batting .333 and his OPS is higher than it is against right-handed pitchers. Vs. Left/vs. right OPS splits- 1.185/1.060.

Brown's overall numbers have been boosted by a torrid May, as he's been much hotter lately. In 11 May games, Brown's batting average is a sizzling .381. Of his 7 homers, 6 of them have come since the start of May.

No matter what Flavor Flav tells you, it may very well be acceptable to believe the hype. Get ready for Domonic Brown, Phillies phans.

Lidge Shaky, T-Mac Honored in Trenton

By
TRENTON, NJ- Brad Lidge made his second rehab appearance for the Double A Reading Phillies on Thursday night and it didn't go as well as the veteran reliever or the team had hoped. Lidge struggled with his command and turned in a rather poor outing for the club that entered the night in a playoff race, 1 game behind division rival Trenton for the Wild Card spot in the Eastern Division. On the disabled list since spring training with a strained right rotator cuff, Lidge experienced an elbow strain when he was working back from that issue in late May. In his outing against the Yankees affiliate in Trenton, Lidge displayed difficulty with his control as he threw three wild pitches, hit two batters, walked another and gave up a single, all while letting up two earned runs on 28 pitches in 2/3 of an inning. After the disappointing performance, Lidge was composed and focused on some positive aspects, having reached 89 and 90 MPH on scouts' radar guns, according to some reports. ...

Jason Knapp Q&A

By
PhoulBallz .com was fortunate enough to meet with Phillies prospect Jason Knapp just one day after he caught the attention of the baseball world with his 7 shut out innings, 14 strike out performance against the Indians' Lake County team. - I asked Jason, the Lakewood BlueClaw , for some thoughts about his big game... I had pretty good command of three pitches (fastball, curve, change up). I was on the same page with my catcher, D'Arnaud , and I ended up, ya know, I felt pretty good. - In a great performance like that, how much credit goes to Travis D'Arnaud , the catcher? More than you might expect, definitely. I didn't shake him off once. He told me what to throw and I do what I'm told. And if it works out, a lot of the credit goes to the catcher. - Does the lack of run support (Lakewood has scored 3 total runs in his 3 starts), in your few starts, increase your stress level, or enhance your focus? No, I just try to go out and do my job every outing. Ya know, we...

Eric B Needs to be Cut (and My Name is Rakim)

By
While the Phillies are on a hot streak this month, one player on the team is not. Eric Bruntlett is 1-for-12 in July. Since the start of May, Bruntlett's apex in batting average has been .167 on June 14th. Bruntlett's ineptitude can be tolerated no longer. Get rid of this guy NOW! Eric B. is the 2009 Endy Chavez. Remember Endy...the guy who in 2005 managed just 2 hits in his final 42 games played as a Phillie? That is about the sort of output the Phillies are getting from Bruntlett, and it's time to fix this void. Julio Lugo was designated for assignment last week by the Red Sox and is expected to become a free agent. The Metropolitans are rumored to be interested. Why wouldn't the Phillies be interested in a guy who could surely outhit Bruntlett? Lugo was hitting .284 through 37 games played this season with Boston. Suspended Lehigh Valley IronPig Pablo Ozuna is eligible to return next Wednesday. Ozuna is batting .294 through 51 games at triple A. Miguel Cairo is also...
