Insight, observations (and whatever else comes to mind) on the trails of the team that ended the quarter century-long parade drought in the City of Brotherly Love - the Philadelphia Phillies.

Phils/Yankees lineup and Vic update

First the daily Victorino update: the lineup for tomorrow's game at Lake Buena Vista (Disney World) against the Braves was posted a full day in advance and Shane Victorino was hitting second and batting center field.

So his ailing shoulder is nothing to worry about. He basically has a full month to get plenty of ABs before the regular season begins.

Victorino did not make the trip here to Tampa today, where the Phils play the Yankees. Here is who did... or at least who is in the starting lineup.

(The game, by the way, will be televised live on the MLB Network).

1. Jimmy Rollins, SS
2. Placido Polanco, 3B
3. Chase Utley, 2B
4. Ryan Howard, 1B
5. Raul Ibanez, LF
6. Jayson Werth, DH
7. Ben Francisco, CF
8. John Mayberry Jr., RF
9. Carlos Ruiz, C


Kyle Kendrick is starting. Jose Contreras, Chad Durbin and Scott Mathieson are also on tap to pitch.


As for those Yankees, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez aren't here - they're playing in a split squad at Bradenton. Here's who is playing... or at least who is in the starting lineup.

1. Brett Gardner, CF
2. Nick Johnson, DH
3. Mark Teixeira, 1B
4. Jorge Posada, C
5. Robinson Cano, 2B
6. Nick Swisher, RF
7. Marcus Thames, LF
8. Kevin Russo, 3B
9. Ramiro Pena, SS


Former Brave, White Sox, Diamondbacks, Yankees, Expos (did I forget someone?) Javier Vazquez gets the start.
