I think he’s a legit power option against either righties or lefties. I think if they give him a lot of at-bats against righties, though, his numbers overall would be bad cause he wouldn’t get on base enough. On the other hand, I’m not sure and he hasn’t gotten a lot of chances in the majors yet. Also, you don’t have to be real good to be an improvement over Ibanez at this point.

I agree about the schedule. In addition to the quality of the opponent, the off-days are going to start to get more rare. Twenty games in a row without an off-day May 13 through June 1.

I went to several Lakewood BlueClaws games over the last 10 years and to see how these players progress to the majors is awesome.

The FISH. Did anyone see this coming? I sure did not. That kid they have in right field (Stanton) makes me very jealous. Yeow. Have you seen the ball jump off his bat? When the Fish come to town, it will be serious baseball, I am thinking.

April’s schedule was a cupcake compared to May’s. Heres to getting out to a good start against the Nats tonight.

In April, did we play ANYone with a winning record? May’s schedule will be far more challenging.

Cetainly the stakes are going to be.

Do you really think Mayberry has no chance against righties?

I’m kinda looking forward to Brown joining the team a lot more than I had expected.

Ibanez is really struggling. Brown starts rehad tonight with the Pigs! I’m sure I can go 0-34 anytime the Phils would like, just give me a call.

Fantastic crowd last night. Phils/Mets fans with one common theme.

18 wins in April. with all the b*tching and moaning we do, I’ll take it.

I don’t know what the Phillies are going to do. I don’t think they have a plan for the Ibanez-can’t-hit-anything-contingency. Mayberry against lefties, I suppose, but I don’t think that’s going to be enough offense from left field.
