Man of May

Brandon Phillips may have started out slow but since the calendar has changed to May, it's a different story. On Cinco de Mayo, Phillips busted out with 3 hits in 5 at-bats and 6 RBI. In his last 6 games he is hitting .480 with 12 hits, 5 runs and 11 RBI. For the month of may, Brandon is batting .386, has scored 8 times on 17 hits and batted in 15 runs....and the month is only 12 days old and he took 2 games off. Project those numbers over a full season and his numbers might look like this: .386 average, 130 runs scored, 275 hits and 243 RBI. I'd say that's a pretty nice season. Over the same time period the Reds are 6-4, that projects to a 97-65 season. I don't know a Reds fan that wouldn't take that and run. Postseason?
