    I always though he'd be more consistent. Must be saving up for when the other bats go silent.

    Think he's playing off those DirecTV commercials like with Charlie Sheen. That's my only guess.

    And for vball I have no idea, lol.

    Yeah, I'm sure Phillips has never had a bad series :rolleyes:

    Kipnis still has better #'s despite having no protection in the line up. Phillips had a great series and is definitely a great second basemen, but Kipnis is 25 and has really yet to hit his ceiling. Phillips is 30..

    Phillips had his best years when he was 25/26, there's no guarantee a player gets better. Nobody is saying Kipnis is a bad player, but we would like to see him do it for at least a few years before we say he's better than BP.

    Exactly. There have been a lot of players who've had a good year (half of last year, half of this year) in the bigs, then sucked. Not saying kipnis is going to do that, but you have to do it a few years to really be able to compare to the other good players at your position.
