Brandon Phillips

Two stolen bases tonight! That makes 5 on the season.

While still early, the Cincinnati press is showering Phillips, and Krivisky, with praise.

While ineligible for ROY, Phillips looks like he may provide season long production. SBs would be enough to make him a very desirable bait piece.

Maybe the Reds have found a long-term 2B finally.

What will happen, though, is Ryan Freel will see his playing time very adversely affected. However, his value is wrapped-up in SB and position eligibility.

This will keep his Roto value up, but if he has recently passed through a draft, he is likely priced north of $20. At that price, he can't be protected without regular playing time.
