He has just exploded since coming here! 3-4 tonight with 2 homers and 6 rbi's. He is 3rd on the team in RBIs with 13 despite only playing in 6 games this year.

He is good, we know that already. You missed the point of this thread.

Yeah I've liked this guy ever since I saw him one time playing for the Indians, what a shame indeed that we didn't aquire him, they basically gave him away too!

The point is early season stats mean nothing. Philips could easily go on a 1-25 streak like that, there's nothing to be excited about in April unless someone is really just playing unbelievable i.e. Chris Shelton.

Don't hate.

It's April. When he's doing this come July and August, I'll get excited.

Indeed! :thumbup

good for him..

Just remember he was the guy the Indians were raving over when they made the trade that landed Cliff Lee and sizemore. He's still talented and seems like he's giving it his best and maybe last shot.

It's been a nice pick up by the Reds and I think he will turn out to be a good player. They got themselves a nice young DP combination their in Felipe Lopez and Brandon Phillips.

Very nice DP Combo indeed!

Phillips went 3 for 6 today with 1 HR and 4 RBIs.

 

He is now batting .372 with 3 homers and 17 RBIs.

He'll keep that up for sure!!!!!!!!

Oh my. I hope they can find all the pieces.
