At the time I am writing this article the Phillies have yet to officially name a Monday starter. Based on minor league performance, the fact that the Phillies pulled him after just one inning in his start on Friday night, and my telepathic messages I’ve been sending the front office, it appears that Vance Worley will be starting one of the two games on Monday.
Since he could be pitching a game that directly influences both the division and wild card races in the next few days, why don’t we take a few minutes and get to know Vance Worley.
In case you missed it, Worley was the spectacled young man who mowed the Rockies down 1-2-3 on July 24th completing a 10-2 shellacking of Ubaldo Jimenez and the Rocks. He threw just the 9th inning that day and showed some impressive stuff. Before we get into what pitches he features, lets take a look at how he got to his big league debut and what he has done since.
