Everyone who proclaimed that Denis Phipps' 2011 season was merely a fluke, that it was aided by an abnormally-high BABIP ... guess what ... you were exactly right.
Well, it's still early. But safe to say I was excited about him for little reason. I thought maybe the "light had come on" for him last year. Doesn't look that way.
Seems like Phipps struggled last year in April and heated up with the weather. Not sure if I recall correctly. Not ready to write him off as a fluke yet (though the BABIP and other numbers do shed doubt on the validity of 2011).
If he's still struggling on Memorial Day ...
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Brackman:
Does he have any college basketball eligibility left? He could hook up with Mick Cronin.
