Phil Day
Injuries/News:
I wrote something about Hughes for The Hardball Times...Chase Wright doesn’t seem to be too down about giving up 4 homers in a row, which is nice.
AAA:
Rained out.

Tampa, somewhat surprisingly, was the only Yankee affiliate to get a game in yesterday. While Jose Tabata had a quiet night, Reegie Corona and Juan Miranda got some solid work done with the bat. Tabata was 0 for 3 with a HBP as his average dropped below .300 for the first time this season. It is at .296 to be exact, and he is one good game away from having his line look the way I anticipated it would in the FSL, which is pretty much the way it looked prior to last night’s game. Reegie Corona was 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a strikeout. Juan Miranda had the same line, but substitute a double for one of Corona’s singles. Reegie now has a 7-game hit streak where he has gone 12 for 31 to raise his seasonal line to .278/.321/.354 (AVG/OBP/SLG). Miranda has a 3-gamer going where he is 5 for 12 to get his line up to .277/.342/.369.

Scheduled Day Off.
Spotlight On:
Let’s be serious, folks. We’re all going to be tuned to our TVs/laptops/desktops/whatever to catch Phil Franchise/Phil of the Future’s ML debut.

Nice article at THT. You mention he doesn’t have Beckett or King Felix stuff. If you had to compare him to someone established in the majors, who would it be? And would it change depending on how he develops early in his major league career?
I’ll be at the game tonight. In some ways I wish I was watching on TV to get the benefits of different angles, etc. But I had to jump at the chance to see his debut in person.
I’ve heard his most comparable guy is Mark Prior.
Mark Prior’s age 27 season just ended with surgery.
Gulp.
I’ve heard John Smoltz.
