• For what it's Werth: Scouts who have followed the Phillies this year weren't shocked that Shane Victorino came off the disabled list this week -- but Charlie Manuel kept running Jayson Werth out to center field.

Werth, who is leading the big leagues in pitches seen per plate appearance for the second straight year, has grown into a more productive offensive player than Victorino. But the surprise is that Werth has actually outplayed Victorino in center field in some respects.

"Victorino was not as good a center fielder as I expected," said one scout. "His throwing wasn't as good or as accurate as it was in right field. He was a lockdown arm in right field last year. He was so good, I even rated him above [Jeff] Francoeur. But not this year."

• Where'd the heat go: Scouts also have a theory on the dipping velocity of another Phillie, Brett Myers, whose fastball barely topped 88 miles per hour last Sunday: He has gotten too cutter-happy.

"He can fall in love with that cutter, and cutters over the long haul take velocity away from you," said one scout. "Historically, that's been true with a lot of guys who throw an excess amount of cutters. Then, when they try to go back to their fastballs, it's not there."

Fact: There should be some kind of tri-platoon between Jenkins, Victorino and Werth in cf/rf. With Werth's approach to the plate, he can be a terrific #2 hitter. Victorino should only be playing rf and really works best as a pinch runner for Burrell.

ha....tri platoon?


NO

[MDS]

you mix and match them three dooks depending on the matchups. or trade hacktorino for something.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Should have kept Rowand and kept the little hacker in RF.

Choke Dawg goes opposite field for a double.

Is he allergic to April?

tv or radio?

SD, hasn't Jerry Coleman been there since the early 80's?  Ted Leitner used to do Eagle games years ago.

I used to listen to the mighty 1090 on the internet before WIP got their shtein together.  Love Coach John Kantera.
