Domonic Brown continues his torrid pace with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. In 12 games, he is batting .405 with an OPS of 1.197. He has scored eight runs on 17 hits, including seven for extra bases. He has four home runs and 11 RBI. He has also stolen a couple of bags and earned a couple of assists. Need I say he's become an instant fan favorite? Should Ruben Amaro, Jr., decide to trade this kid, fans might respond with pitchforks.
