Joseph went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two runs against the White Sox on Wednesday.

He also struck out twice, giving him six in 14 at-bats over the last four games, but Phillies fans and fantasy owners aren't going to complain, considering Joseph's socked 17 homers in 75 games -- that's a full-season pace for 36 long balls. It'd be nice to see him take a few more walks, but Joseph's .260 BABIP offers the promise of a better batting average when his fortune's more favorable in the future. He may never be elite in that category, but the power should carry him a long way anyhow. That said, in the longer term, he'll have to fight off up-and-coming first-base prospect Rhys Hoskins, who has hit 35 homers in Double-A this year.
