Charlie has once again taken control which in itself is impressive. Next on the list? Who would be sad to see 'No Hit' Nunuez's replacement, Carlos Ruiz, go? After his average reached a season high of .230 in the earlier part of June, he has pretty much gone girly on us all. Carlos Ruiz needs to move on, down or out.... Perhaps Coste is not the everyday answer but Carlos certainly is not. Carlos, you have had enough time to show us what you are capable of my friend. Time to move on.

He's not a viable option for any halfway decent team at this point.

Once he can resolve the problems whether it's mechanics, contol or pitch selection, he can still be an asset to the Phillies in the second half. I commend him for accepting the option to the AAA club. He's doing it for what it's best for him and the team. He took the same position last season in accepting his role in the bullpen.I'm betting on JA Happ to be his replacement when that is announced (tomorrow?).

I know it's a tough pill to swallow, but I think he realizes how serious his problems are. Hopefully he will break his mechanics and mindset back down to basics and FOCUS! If you look at the video of Brett celebrating the 1st place finish last year as opposed to the expression and the body language that we have seen so far this year - an absolute animal vs. a cupcake. Come on Brett get your focus back brother! Hit your spots consistently and you will be right back in the bigs! Go Phillies! Cudos to you Brett.
