Reading is AA

Reading is broke…
dwarfcatt
reading is power!
Harley
Reading is fundamental.
Eddie
Hopefully he gets a shot at the MLB Level, he always seemed to be a DH/PH type of player
JacksTigers
Who is “he?” This is very vague.

He spent last season at Double-A Reading, not Triple-A. He absolutely tore the cover off the ball. If his numbers can translate to the Major League level, the Twins have a serious power-hitting threat in their lineup/bench.

he needs to keep eatin the roast beef sandwiches.
PhreshPhillies
He prefers cheesesteaks, but I don’t think Minnesota has any!
Daniel Garner
Obviously you do not go to the Reading Games, or you would understand the Roast Beef RBi giveaway and the roast beef chants. I am a proud winner on many occasions thanks to Rizzoti
PhreshPhillies
Of course I go to Reading games, who do you think starts the “Roast Beef” chants? Now that he has a chance to be a big-leaguer, he needs to go the extra yard with the cheesesteaks.

We do have Tony O’s Cuba Sandwiches at Target Field. Mmm…
nm344
Too bad he really can’t field at all. Going to the AL is the best thing for him if he can be a bench/dh guy.
Kristopher Watson
Yeah because the Phillies have no need for a solid hitting first baseman? Howard has one achilles left and Thome is 42. Great move Amaro.
Jamie Sayer
Technically your sarcasm starts and finishes right after, so what I’m getting is that the whole sentence you’re dead serious about.

Traded for cash considerations…I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a precursor to the phillies making a trade or signing a FA for the infield Considering how close they are to the luxury tax.

Igarashi wasn’t good last year.
Lastings
He wasn’t bad either. He was atrocious…
vilifyingforce
He was pretty amazing in AAA 31.0IP 0.774WHIP. Hopefully he stays there all season.
