News and Notes

Nov 5
Victorino finished the year hitting .292 with a .358 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, 62 RBI, 102 runs scored and 25 stolen bases in 620 at-bats. Recommendation: The home runs and stolen bases are down a bit from 2008 even though Victorino played in 10 more games this season. Despite that, it was still a very productive season for the Phillies' centerfielder. |

CF Shane Victorino started Game 6 of the World Series on Wednesday night at new Yankee Stadium. Victorino didn't even have to convince manager Charlie Manuel. The swelling in his finger, bruised but not broken by an A.J. Burnett fastball in the first inning of Game 5 on Monday night, had subsided enough that he no longer had difficulty swinging the bat or throwing a ball. But Victorino appeared to have trouble throwing in the third inning when Hideki Matsui laced a two-run single to center field. Victorino also misplayed a line drive by Derek Jeter, breaking back before racing in and having the ball fall in front of him. |

Victorino was in Philadelphia's starting lineup Wednesday night for Game 6 of the World Series despite a finger injury. Advice: Victorino was struck on his right index finger by a fastball from A.J. Burnett in the first inning of the Phillies' 8-6 victory over the New York Yankees on Monday night. X-rays were negative, but the injury appeared to bother him throughout that game. |
