Cody Asche has gotten himself into 30+ games in his first campaign as a major leaguer. The third baseman has looked good in the field and provided some pop at the plate. Asche hit his 5th homer of the season earlier tonight - He had 15 at AAA Lehigh Valley prior to getting called up.
The Phillies have struggled to find a solution for the hot corner. During the recent stretch of winning seasons they have settled on mediocre players at a position that is traditionally considered a premium offensive spot. Both Pedro Feliz and Placido Polanco were adequate, but it would be nice to get some production from a homegrown talent.
2011 Bowman
We recently featured a 2011 Bowman Chrome of Cesar Hernandez. For more info on that set click here. The 2011 Bowman Design looks pretty decent on both base and Chrome. I like the way the keep the photo in black/white beyond the border of the color photo. It helps the player photo pop a bit.

The Phillies Room featured the Bowman Card whenever Asche was first called up a month ago.
