Victorino to the DL, Brown called up

The Philadelphia Phillies have a miserable outfield. So much so that the 610 WIP mid-day crew of Glen Macnow and Anthony Gargano were discussing the worst Phillies outfields of all time.

Utley and Francisco have something Bruin?

Cliff Lee made the headlines today, but delve deeper and realize that Ben Francisco is the real focal point of this deadline blockbuster.   As classless astute Philly fans will tell you, Chase Utley was drafted out of UCLA in the first round back in 2000.  Francisco was drafted in the fifth round out of UCLA in 2002.
