Reds | 2B Brandon Phillips sets table for Votto

Cincinatti RedsCincinnati Reds 2B Brandon Phillips keeps getting on base and 1B Joey Votto keeps knocking him home.  Yesterday, during their match-up with the Chicago Cubs, Phillips scored 2 runs on 1 hit and a walk while collecting 2 rbi.

Our Instinct:  After a couple seasons hitting clean-up or in the 3-hole, Brandon Phillips has fully embraced a new role this season:  Leadoff.  As the spark plug of the offense, he has transformed his game.  For the first time in his career, he’s hitting above .300.  He’s taking walks at a clip twice the years previous.  And has already scored 62 runs 2010, compared to the 80 he scored in all of 2008.  Would we like the 30-30 version of Phillips from 2007?  Sure.  Who wouldn’t?  But this new Phillips isn’t bad either.
