Pity Vance Worley.
He’s quickly on his way to cementing the No. 4 – or at least the No. 5 - spot in the Phils Phab Phive rotation. Anyone remember Joe Blanton?
So what does he get for a reward after dazzling the Marlins on two hits – both singles - over seven shutout innings?
A ticket back to Allentown and the IronPigs.
But it’s only temporary.
Read Ryan Lawrence’s complete story here.
The Phils’ rotation means they likely will not need Worley’s services again until after the All-Star break. Instead of just sitting on the pine in Philly, he’ll get some more action at Lehigh Valley.
As the trade deadline nears, and the Phils continue to have interest in acquiring a right-handed bat, look for clubs to look longingly at Worley.
Every time he takes the hill, Worley makes it more difficult for the Phils to deal him.
