Philadelphia Phillies: Four Desperate Measures for Desperate Times- Part 4

Phillies Top Prospect Dominic Brown
Part 4 of 5


3. Promote Dominic Brown

As previously mentioned, Ibanez's "slump" has now reached about a year. The plethora of topped balls to second, warning track flies, and whiffs over that time sadly signals that it may be time to give up hope that Raul is going to come out it. 

Meanwhile, Dominic Brown continues to terrorize minor league pitching. His combined 2010 stats between Double-A and Triple-A are a robust .330 batting average with 17 HRs and 53 RBI in 74 games. 

Can you say "Jason Heyward?" Its time for the Phillies to throw caution to wind and install their prized prospect in Ibanez's slot. 

Bring him up, put him in left, and drop him behind Werth in the lineup. Why waste time and talent trying to trade for an offensive  solution when one sits right in front of their eyes?
