He is owed $21 million in 2013 and $21 million in 2014.

Over the last two years he has hit 222/258/409 in 791 plate appearances.

He’s been pretty awful, hasn’t he?

Pretty sure that Worley has been better so far.

I think the Phillies are working on your right-handed bat. Neither of Cody Ross or Vernon Wells seems too exciting to me, but I’d rather have them than not.

I have no idea. There was lots to like about Worley, mostly I loved his focus when things got tough and counts deep. Thing is, the counts always seemed deep and disaster seemed immanent. It was like he was channeling Wild Thing. His level of called third strikes was pretty amazing, though. But man, he was hard on the digestive system.

Lannan I am gonna have to learn to appreciate. Hitting Utley like he did seemed intentionally designed to injure. And he threw at more guys than Utley. If he wins, I will be ok. But I will never buy a shirt with his number on it; I am not a fan.
