Domonic Brown needs to show up to work

The old saying goes something like, "It's hard to reach the big leagues but even harder to stay there." Those words of advice might be helpful for Domonic Brown. As Matt Breen's described:

Domonic Brown’s No. 12 navy helmet sat alone in the dugout on Tuesday as the IronPigs took batting practice. Brown's clubhouse chair remained folded against his locker. The Phillies right fielder did not report to triple-A Lehigh Valley after being optioned here Tuesday afternoon following a 20-day rehabilitation assignment.

It is an absurd development for the second-worst player in baseball last season.
