Right now on the front page of CSN Philly there's a great interview of Ruben Amaro and you can just see the smug literally glistening off of his face. I may be wrong, but does he roll his eyes in the beginning? Look at it at about 18 seconds, it's hilarious. He also says he hoped that the Eagles would move on. I think he obviously meant that he's glad they are hated again and that if Joe Banner wanted to come work for a real sports organization that he could find something for him. Rube'd.

If you haven't read this article, do it. As a Phillies fan, it's a must. It makes you proud and pumped up to be a Phillies fan. Great work by James, as usual. It's long, well thought out, and is great analysis. Hopefully the trade works out and I believe it will. Let's hope we have another parade down Broad Street, lead by Roy, Roy, and Cole.

He's been on fire lately, taking more walks and striking out less as an 18 yo in the SAL league. Here's his current line.

Avg: .285  wOBA: .355 SB: 47 OPS: .740 Runs: 50 RBI: 29

What do you guys think about him? Remember he has plus plus speed and a plus plus arm as he threw 97 as a lefty in high school. The K rate is terrible, but lately has been much much better.

You guys seem to be pretty knowledgeable, just wanted your thoughts on the ceilings of Dom Brown and Mike Taylor thus far. Both seem to breaking out, is it for real, when can we expect them in Philly?. Thanks.

Brown:   Avg- .336  OBP- .420  SLG- .525   HR- 6  RBI- 30  ISO- .260 SB- 10  BB- 22  SO- 30

Taylor:  Avg- .312  OBP- .370  SLG- .576  HR- 7  RBI- 30  ISO- .264  SB- 8  BB- 11 SO- 17
