Bargain Basement Slugger will be a model citizen. Until he won't.




Delmon Young is in Phillies pinstripes. We are crossing our fingers for almost our entire starting lineup. What's one more with a high ceiling (112 RBI). Maybe, just maybe, this will open up Manuel's brain to realize that Michael Young getting fat pitches in the THREE hole will produce more than Utley, whose ability to hit any count and move runners is an ideal TWO hitter. Young protects Howard well enough. This might be asking too much of Charlie but Revere's speed and contact should be lead off not your adopted son, Rollins. Revere will cause havoc with Utley & Young having excellent bat control. This season, it'll be "go get it Ben". Gary Maddox would understand. Here's hoping.
