Rhys Hoskins, a top prospect who has crushed International League pitching to the tune of .284/.385/.581, with a club-record 29 home runs, has been promoted to the Philadelphia Phillies

Playing left field because Tommy Joseph currently occupies first base, Hoskins will start tonight against the New York Mets. He bats seventh.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
