Snelling begins comeback

It is a bit of a comedown for Chris Snelling, who went from playing with the Phillies major league squad, allllllll the way back down to Class A Advanced, for a rehab assignment with the Clearwater Threshers. Delaware Online is reporting that Snelling got two hits on Sunday (Sat in the US) in his third game back from his knee injury.

2 hits in his third game back reads pretty good I suppose. But, he has now played 4 games, and has only 4 hits, averaging .143. He has drawn a few walks though, but has struck out twice as well. Either way, it seems unlikely that he would secure much of a role in the Phillies major league squad anyway, as the injured Phillies whose time on the DL led to his call-up have all rejoined the squad. So really, it seems more a matter of what level within the Phillies organisation Snelling will end up at.
