lee was getting hit a lot in the 8th, Charlie farged up by not replacing him.

then, in the 9th he pinch runs Mayberry instead of Fontenot and let's Fontenot hit just because of righty vs lefty.  he's a joke

good article about Dom and the switch to center. http://articles.mcall.com/2012-06-02/sports/mc-ironpigs-sunday-domonic-brown-0603-20120602_1_domonic-brown-ironpigs-field

letting him run gap to gap really takes advantage of his athleticsm and wingspan and he gets good reads off the bat from center

he went 4-5 with 2HR and an outfield assist last night.  supposedly he struggled early this year because they changed his swing and he is now getting into a groove with it.

He was kicked off his High School team for fighting but he's huge [6'5 230], crushes Home Runs and has a monster upside. High ceiling player, isn't that what you preach?

what high school player doesnt have upside...by definition if you are 17 you better have upside...but this guy seems to have less than most...if he ever makes it which is less than a 2% chance he will be a DH in the american league....i really could care less as he will never play in the big leagues i just think its hilarious he wasnt in baseball americas top 500

Most High School players can't do this in 1000 swings much less 70

QuoteCozens, the son of a former NFL draft pick, worked out for the Phillies on Saturday and sprayed the ball all over Citizens Bank Park, including 10 homers in about 70 swings.

not true...shtein in a small park no bigger than a lot of high school fields with a major league coach throwing perfect BP i could hit a bunch out

I'll bet you couldn't hit one out and I'd give you 1000 tries

wait i have to be misunderstanding you...you must be talking about against major league pitching right?

obviously i couldnt do that

i thought you were talking about hitting a baseball 330 feet against BP pitching...which is something almost anyone can do
