Why not try to sign Domonic Brown to a minor league deal?

Or a 1-year deal @ 1 or 2 mil. I think the upside is worth the gamble. We could use the LH pop for sure.

Like Nolan Reimold, he has a good arm in the outfield, and has some power at the plate.

Unlike Nolan Reimold, he has a very low OBP.

When you don't (at least) match up evenly or better with a guy that will likely be fighting for the 4th outfielder spot in the first place, there is usually little reason to add you ...... especially since Duquette has made it clear that we need to add to our current OBP, and preferably with someone who also has good speed (like Dexter Fowler.)

I think he has some of the best natural tools I have seen. I would love to give Brady a shot with him after Ruben messed him up. When I saw him in the Arizona Fall League, he was the most talented athlete on the field.

Some looks - He had some injuries and concussion syndrome.

Having lived in Philly for 6 years recently, I am not enamored with the guy. Yea, he looks like a pretty decent athlete, but he's been getting consistently worse over the past two years. Not to mention, he has only had one year where he hit over .270 with his second high being at .245. I don't know what the advance stats say on his fielding, but that didn't look that great either. When a struggling Phillies franchise dump him that's a clear sign to me to stay away
