Dahl does not appear to be the answer long term, the larger the sample size the poorer the outcome. Although he is an outfielder which we need. If Clemens or Sosa can prove they can play the outfield then he is expendable.
Bring up our best power hitting outfielder in the minors until the AS game and let's see what he got.
How about Muzziotti?
Muzziotti was spectacular last year, but this year he is hitting around. 200 and not doing as well
It's frustrating to view 10 plus Philies strike out practically every game. Why is that?
Johnson down and Kingery up. Going to lose him anyway and you might as well get some use out of him
