D.Brown's raw tools have struggled in the majors for one because he's never been given a consistent chance. Constantly being moved in and out of lineups and used for pinch hits here and there. He's tried to push way too much, forcing too much. I've been wanting him to be thrown in there to sink or swim for a while now. Last year late in the season he got a decent chance and didn't do awful, but didn't impress. His power has been the mystery because it's been missing and that's one thing that we know he's got plenty of.

Now, his swing has been adjusted big time and it's showing. It's only ST but looking at his motions he's finally getting it, which is why so many scouts project this season to be a good one for D.Brown as it will translate into the regular season. He's been a frustrating player because when you look at his raw tools he should be a fucking monster.

Late bloomer, but don't worry he's no bust

If you know he has power, how is that a mystery?
I'm hoping he does well, I get him every year just incase he does erupt.

i did that with kendrys for like 3 straight seasons, got him last pick of every draft, finally he busted out and got 5th in the MVP voting lol
hes gonna be GG for u guys this year, ive always liked his power, he just had that ridiculous injury to set him back, i saw him hit that HR yesterday, his swing still looks solid.



what exactly do u think happened to wood?
he never had a job, always called up and sent down, doing this or that playing 1-2 games as a fill in then going back to the minors
im not gonna jump to conclusions and say hes a bust quite yet, but hes done very little with the time given to him (just like wood) to make me think hes going to be anything besides a hindrance for the phillies.

good news is its not like hes a 1st round pick or anything where they feel obligated to keep him around year after disappointing year to the point where he has literally no trade value when they're finally over him.

I was stoked when we did that trade. I have always loved Kendrys, even when he was on a bitch team.

First series of the season complete, D.Brown looking steady.

Has had at least 1 hit in each game, hitting .364, has drawn 1 Walk and did not strike out once.

Positive start looking like his adjusted swing is helping a lot.

Enjoy the fluke while it lasts.

Did I stutter?

You wish it was a fluke KID

I must've stuttered.
