I do doubt. Compare him to Choo. Sorry, he's not the best...even WITH Choo scuffling of late.
Re: 6/7/2013 Reds v. Cardinals (The Return of Phillips...this time it's personal)
Choo really working his at-bat here, they said it's the longest of any batter against Wainwright this year.
Another foul, Wainwright to make his 11th pitch against him.
Re: 6/7/2013 Reds v. Cardinals (The Return of Phillips...this time it's personal)
quite the battle here with Choo ----
Re: 6/7/2013 Reds v. Cardinals (The Return of Phillips...this time it's personal)
Great AB by Choo. Now up to 11 pitches

He's very good with the bat (so far) but well behind in HR and RBI. If those were closer, it would be an interesting debate due to BP's big edge with the glove.
Re: 6/7/2013 Reds v. Cardinals (The Return of Phillips...this time it's personal)
Choo walks. 1st and 2nd. Great AB.

Re: 6/7/2013 Reds v. Cardinals (The Return of Phillips...this time it's personal)
And Choo manages a walk against a pitcher that so rarely issues them. It's first and second.
Re: 6/7/2013 Reds v. Cardinals (The Return of Phillips...this time it's personal)
they were not going to give in to Choo -- nice job getting on base

I second this.
Re: 6/7/2013 Reds v. Cardinals (The Return of Phillips...this time it's personal)
And Cozart grounds into a double play. Inning over.
Re: 6/7/2013 Reds v. Cardinals (The Return of Phillips...this time it's personal)
5-4-3 DP by Cozart. 0-0 after 3.
Re: 6/7/2013 Reds v. Cardinals (The Return of Phillips...this time it's personal)
Cozie gives the two outs with that roller
