So, yeah, we're still looking for help over here. In the meantime, we figure this is probably going to be a regular thing. The best of the rest from April.
Enjoy!
Gabe Kapler is unlike any manager Philly fans have known (and booed) - an interesting write up on Kapler from NY Times scribe Tyler Kepner. The New York-ness (arrogance, condescension, myopia, and tendency to focus in on irrelevant details) is on full display here, nonetheless, the article is well written and is an interesting outsider's perspective.
How Seranthony Dominguez's path to the Major could mimic Ken Giles - so remember that off-day when Kap drove to Reading to mingle with the prospects rather than... I dunno, go golfing or blog or whatever it is that Kap does in his down time. Maybe it wasn't such a random act of beneficence after all. From the folks at PhilliesMinorThoughts.

Burn Facebook Game to the Ground:Diamondbacks 8, Phillies 2 - a great write-up on the god-awful Facebook broadcasting crew by the very witty Liz Roscher over at The Good Phight.
Surging Phillies are just starting to figure out how good they are - a nice write up from Jerry Crasnik over at ESPN.
What's up with those 1's - a quick check in on the first round draft picks accrued during the past three years of "the process" from the dude over at Phoulballz.
