  • Justin Crawford Making an Immediate Impact

    Justin Crawford is making an immediate impact in his ticking days as a Philadelphia Phillie. He has so far doubled and made spectacular plays out in center field. He is screaming aloud potential.

    And the Philadelphia fans are going to love it. Son of former MLB player Carl Crawford, Justin is performing in the manner fans had hoped.

    Last season in AAA, he batted .334 with 7 HR and 47 RBI. Not to say, he is a fast, quick twitched runner. Crawford is the player the Phils need.

    However, the Phils are sometimes hesitant to promote any prospect. They value the prospect as much as hesitating.

    It is not too long to decide whether Crawford will play in the big leagues. My prediction is he will start in May and climb his way up the ladder. Crawford is too good to resist and it begins very soon.

  • Buy or Sell: Adolis Garcia

    Adolis Garcia, last season, batted .227, 19 home runs and 75 RBI. It was a go-figure after missing back-to-back World Series with Bruce Bochy.

    Although, Garcia was a primed hitter once in his career and grew a huge impact in Texas. Garcia is now a Philadelphia Phillie and what is the main reason?

    Less cash? Better defense? Hopes he outwits Nick Castellanos?

    None of that matters. What does is his ability to play the everyday position or compete highly with prospect Justin Crawford. Crawford hit a record best .863 OPS in the minors last year.

    Season odds are he will win out the position and finally put this distaste to a restful end in right field. He will have a chance to work with the 40-man roster in spring training to decide the outcome.
