They have to be running out of room in the Phillies infirmary! Joe Blanton, the fifth ace, is the most recent addition to the DL as a result of a medial impingement of the right elbow. Yeah, that's Big Joe's thowing elbow. Maybe this explains why he's been off to such a rough start with the Phils. :(=
As a result, the Phillies will be calling up 23-year-old right-hander Vance Worley to the big leagues to face Mike Pelfry and the Muts tonight. Just who is this Vance Worley? I do hear that he's been playing some great Triple-A ball for the Iron Pigs. Whoever he is, he might have a chance to become the most famous Vance ever as the list of famous Vances is short. This is probably because Vance is from the Old English meaning "dweller of a bog."
More old school Reading Phils cards here!

He started once for the Phillies in a doubleheader game last year and had a few some bullpen appearances. I liked what I saw. He's been pretty decent with Lehigh this year. Rumor had it he would of competed with Kendrick had the Phils traded Blanton for the 5th spot.
"Stellar Worley" strikes again: http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2011_05_04_wasmlb_phimlb_1&mode=recap&c_id=phi
