As anticipated, Phillies outfielder Delmon Young will not be ready for the start of the season and will miss “a while” according to Charlie Manuel. On the bright side, Young reported to camp 30 lbs lighter according to John Clark of NBC 10 but comes to camp without any expectation of when he expects to play
according to Ryan Lawrence. Young’s absence creates an opportunity for another outfielder to receive significant playing time to start the year in 2013.
