FWIW, Gary Brown is definitely heating up. In the last 10 games, he's hitting .405 with 4 HRs, has a .436 OBP and has scored 9 runs...unfortunately, he's still not stealing many bags (2 SBs in his last 10 games with 1 CS). The ability to be a productive major leaguer is definitely still there, but it's hard to see him as anything more than a 4th OF at this point.
please bring him up and replace Torres dear god. Or even Peguero

We tried Peguero, good defensive outfielder but he probably couldn't even hit if Kontos was pitching. Torres cannot seem to focus on in the outfield, which is why he makes dumb ass errors. I am not even poking fun of his ADD. I am being serious.

Thanks for the update on Brown ghost. I am glad he is hitting, I wouldn't mind seeing him get a few games shot. Some guys are super fast, but horrible baserunners. Thats probably him.

Brown seems to be a solid base-runner, but it seems clear the he never had to learn the art of base stealing as a high-schooler/colleague player since he was so effen fast. I'm sure they're teaching him now, but it takes awhile. I think if they called someone up to replace Torres it would be Peguero, but that's just my opinion.

There isnt a team that would trade for either of these scrubs.

He had his shot Garcia. He has no power at all and gets on base less than Blanco. Where would be the upgrade over Blanco? I say put Perez out there
