In what can be described as a mild surprise, it is Greg Dobbs and not Domonic Brown losing their spot on the Phils 25 man roster with the activation of Chase Utley. The fact that Dobbs continues to hit under .190 with next to no success pinch-hitting makes this a decision that is very difficult to argue with. Brown, hitting .229 with a homer and 11 RBI’s since his call up will continue being used in his role as a pinch hitter and will give the Ibanez/Victorino/Werth combination a break against certain right-handed starters. Dobbs must clear waivers before deciding whether he will accept this late season assignment to AAA Lehigh Valley.

Just a reminder, use this spot for discussion of last night’s games. Post all draft stuff in the Draft Wrap-Up post. Thanks.
GCL Phillies won 7-6.
Lakewood lost 4-2.
Clearwater lost 9-2 and won 6-4.
Lehigh Valley lost 7-4.
This Utley guy appears to have a decent skill set, but he’s way too old for this level.
