first hit: RBI double. the man is good.
The legend begins… first AB, RBI 2B
The best was the half smile from Ben Francisco when Brown made it back to the dugout. It was like “Well, I won’t be playing much anymore”
Matt that was funny
Send him back down.. he’s not ready.
Glad to see a “toolsy” HS outfielder make it. Next up, Gillies, Gose and James.
It almost feels like one of our kids is leaving home – he’s certainly not the first prospect to “graduate” in this site’s history, but he is probably the first that we’ve followed through every level of his development. Exciting times!

hes got hand speed
Foot speed, too. Talk about a catalyst.
Looks like Werth really enjoys playing with Brown
Sam – Very ironic isn’t it? Considering he’s the one who’s pretty much forcing Werth out of town after this year.
My thoughts exactly Matt. Would love to see them bat 5 & 6 for a few more years though.
Hey, we have a hit by a position player younger than 28 for the first time this season! A few hits actually. I feel like a proud papa.
Hey, if they can find a way to get rid of Ibanez in the offseason, I’d be ok with a Victorino – Werth – Brown OF.
its not impossible.
Does Ibanez have a full no trade clause or a partial?
Rookie mistake by Brown diving for a ball costs Halladay his shutout, but overall a very strong debut. He seemed to spark the lineup tonight, a lineup missing three of its regulars.
@ Matt- Just okay? Heck I’d be thrilled with an outfield of Brown, Vic and Werth. Abos*******lutley thrilled. See the use of profanity though censored makes it much more dramatic.
Wonder if he gets to start tomorrow?
i would dump victorino, I think he is about peaked.
Trading Ibanez will be very difficult. With his age, hefty contract, and limited production, he simply isn’t a desirable player for other teams. The Phils are probably stuck with him through 2011 and just have to hope that they can get at least respectable offensive production from him. That’s likely the best case scenario.
If Ibanez can get some trade value. The only teams I can see him going to are the Angels and Tigers.
Ibanez will become the most expensive pinch hitter of all time next year
They would need to get back an equally bad contract in return for ibanez. Thats the only way he gets traded
That’s why I only mentioned AL teams, where he can DH. “If” he would waive his NTC, it would be to a team in contention.
stark is reporting an oswalt for happ and prospects deal..anyone have an inside on the prospects involved?
singleton, cosart, colvin, may, and gose
Heard Charlie before the game. I think Francisco starts tomorrow.
ahh you would fit in perfectly on the phillies board there.. captain
yeah francisco in right 2mrw my guess
If we are giving up Happ. I would not want to give up more than say JC Ramirez and a reliever prospect.
or if they want a position player, I guess Gose?
what are you smoking toddzilla? Im hearing Happ, Worley, JC Ramirez and Rizz. Which is fine with me for Oswalt.
Parliament lite
Bob that would be fine for me too as long as we don’t have to pick up the option year, if we do someone comes off that list. Lets move this discussion into trade chatter PP will get mad at us.
just had one of them myself zilla… i would do that trade in an f’n heartbeat
terrible habit, we should stop and live a few more years
alright move it over dont want to pi$$ in his cherios…and brown should have let the ball bounce in the 9th!! jk but not really
Bob where are your sources for that proposed deal?
Reading with an 8 run 11th…. Rizzotti might be getting pitched around a bit at this point. 1 for 3 with 4 BBs. Harold Garcia tearing it up 4-6 a 3b 4 rbi’s and a walk
Great Charlie comment
When asked about Brown he said they were giving away Brown bobbleheads tomorrow.
But isn’t it AMAZING when you platoon a 3x year old player he gets better and so does the other player. Who wooda thunk it.
I liked when Brown scored from first. You can’t teach speed.
Where you guys hearing this info and the possible Oswalt trade???
Brown- Wow!
Totally rookie observation here, but does Browns swing look a little long?
(However, I can see why he gets comparisons to Strawberry too…)
Rotoworld just posted a story quoting a local Houston tv station report that the Astros and Phils have reached an agreement re an exchange of players (not identified) for Oswalt. The only remaining issue lies in the 12′ option.
I am proud to have scene him at Lakewood, Reading and Lehigh Valley, I hope he prospers as much in Philly as he did last night! Now who will be left to root for after Amaro trades away every one else with an ounce of talent?
Can I dream a little? Rollins and Polanco at the top of the lineup; Victorino and Ruiz at the bottom; Utley, Howard, Werth and Brown in the middle. Oh, and Halladay, Hamels and Oswalt at the top of the rotation. Now, if Amaro does not give up our top prospects in the deal, the world would be a perfect place.
Ironic that Brown made his debet before taylor, even though when he was traded Taylor was considered closer to the majors. Just goes to show you anything can happen.
Great for Dom Brown! That is awesome.
