shane victorino is not a 2 hole hitter. jimmy rollins is a 2 hole hitter. they dont have a leadoff hitter. leadoff hitters get on base. they dont swing at the first pitch and they are patient. when they get on base they do damage which he does. but hes gotta get it together and work a few leadoff walks.

This team needs another starter and they need to jump start that offense, I expect them to have an offensive run after the all-star break that runs parallel to what they are doing now and it will even out and it will once again be fun to watch games.

“Some here have suggested calling up Greg Golson from AA. That would not be the right move at the moment. He is on the DL with an wrist injury and hasn’t played in over two weeks.His strikeout-to-walk ratio remains poor (77-14). It was reported in the past, he has struggled with off speed stuff and that’s in double A. No… bringing him up simply to be a fourth outfielder isn’t the way to go.”

I think you will see the first major move by the Phillies before thursday’s game vs Atlanta. Myers, who is scheduled to start will go to the bullpen. Chad Durbin will exchange roles and start in his place. There is an another possible option that Happ or Mazone may be called up from AAA with Condrey going off the roster. Let’s see what happens.
