April 18, 200916 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) Good to see De Los Santos back on the mound. It's Frank, not Fautino.
April 18, 200916 yr Author Christian Marrero with a nice start to the season for Winston-Salem. Nice to see. I'm still holding out hope that he has some legitimacy as a prospect. Edited April 18, 200916 yr by scenario
April 18, 200916 yr Well, at least Andy Phillips should turn things around for Charlotte. Ben Broussard was bringing the clubhouse down. To be fair, Andy Phillips was my favorite player for Alabama back in the day, plus Charlotte already had a left handed hitting 1B/DH in Brian Myrow, so Broussard was the odd man out. Phillips can play 1B, 2B, 3B, LF & RF and he's a right handed hitter. And, he's actually hitting over .300. Edited April 18, 200916 yr by JPN366
April 18, 200916 yr I would have liked it more if they had dropped the 33 year old Myrow, then Ben Broussard.
April 18, 200916 yr looking at the stats, Myrow is a vet minor league player who has put up some big numbers in AAA. Maybe they view him as more of a leader and perhaps even mentor for the younger players.

April 18, 200916 yr Author Broadway had a very nice game last night despite getting a loss. 6 innings; 2 runs on 6 hits; 5 K's and 1 BB.
April 18, 200916 yr Ben Broussard was parked behind Betemit and Josh Kroeger on the depth chart. For all we know, he probably asked to be given the opportunity to find an organization that was a better fit.
