LOL

I know we are being tongue in cheek with it so far (I hope everyone is at least) but I can already tell the Brown doomsayers are going to be a strong candidate for my #1 biggest Full Retard annoyance group this year

well, if he hasn't put it together by age 22...

edit: didn't realize he's actually 23. doomed.

his name was a red flag

actually he was 23 last year

Everyone isn't. And I agree.

Just out of morbid curiosity, how long is a good time to wait before we'll be able to tell which one turned out better? I think people waited about a month last year before saying that Taylor was overrated and Brown was the 2nd coming, and that was with Taylor changing teams and switching his hitting stance.

I'm pretty sure Lee called Halladay "Callahan" in an interview on csnphilly.com unless he was talking about some mystery fellow.

He has a temper and therefore he is also overweight, lazy and going to be in jail soon. Would never get off the bench for us.

I'm talking above my pay grade here, but Taylor is two years older than Brown and posted a .740 OPS in AAA last year, while Brown was tearing up the minors. I suppose you can know for sure, for sure three or four years from now, and Taylor certainly has shown enough talent that he could be very, very good and this was just a stumble along the way. But being higher on Brown is certainly understandable and anyone who's changed their mind base on the first weekend of spring training is either amazingly perceptive or rashly stupid. Well, or throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.

It will be fun to see which way it pans out.

Furthermore, anyone proclaiming to be a Phillies fan who is hoping Dom will fail so that they can relish in the "I told you so moment...." is probably a huge dip shit.

So Savery's switching to being a hitter??

I read a string of Comments on a Facebook post last night that made me want to suicide bomb someone/something.

That was a Stairs like follow through on the swing from Taylor
