Under the Radar..

Stephen Strasburg, Jason Heyward, Mike Stanton, Ike Davis, and Buster Posey are the headliners for a year when youth has thrived in the Big Leagues Those are the household names or at least soon to be household names, well I have another one for you...Domonic Brown!!! He just recently got called up to the Phillies due to injuries to their outfield, well the kid came up and looked like he belonged. Brown went 2-3 with 2 RBI and 2 runs scored, Brown has been the Phillies number 1 prospect for some time now, but because of their talent in the outfield there was no room for him to be called up. Brown is just as physically impressive as Jason Heyward, just not as heavy. Brown stands 6'5 and 200 pounds, he is extremely athletic, although a bit raw he has the tools to become one of the best outfielders of his time. Just remember you heard it here first, this kid is the TRUTH!! I'm not saying he's Jason Heyward, because he's not. Brown doesn't have the poise and power at the plate that Heyward does, but he has a sweet swing and enough power to get it out the yard. He's also a better outfielder than Heyward, but as I said before pay attention to this kid. Whether Phillies can afford to keep him in the minor leagues or not, he NEEDS to play and play NOW. What ever happens in terms of him staying a Phillie or getting traded in the future, whenever you hear Strasburg or Heyward make sure you check to see what this kid Brown has done that day as well. Of all of those mentioned above, he had the quietest debut this year and a lot of people missed seeing this talent!! When you get a chance, look the kid up....tell me what you think!!
