From an article in yesterday’s Daily News by David Murphy on 2008 BlueClaws OF Domonic Brown.

The kid didn’t make much of a first impression. Long and lean with plenty of obvious potential, Domonic Brown had hit just .214 as an 18-year-old with the Phillies’ Gulf Coast League affiliate in 2006. The next season, he moved on to short-season Class A Williamsport, where he shared a clubhouse with 2007 first-round draft pick Joe Savery. One day, Savery was talking to then-pitching coach Bill Bliss about various Phillies prospects when Bliss pointed in the direction of Brown.

Savery recalled the story yesterday as he sat in the home clubhouse at Bright House Field, where moments earlier he had listened via radio as Brown tied the Phillies’ Grapefruit League game with a two-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning.

“He ended up being right,” Savery said with a chuckle.
