Dave Cameron of FanGraphs argued today that Shane Victorino is better than Ryan Howard.

Friend of Live From Upper Gwynedd Bill Baer of Crashburn Alley had a series of killer features.

Phillies Nation and Phoul Ballz contributor Jay Floyd explored what it means for Scott Mathieson to become a starter again in Triple A.

Michael LoRe of the Express-Times covered what was a very busy June 16 for several Phillies minor leaguers.
