Arroyo For Victorino Rumor Is Bogus
There is a rumor floating about that the Reds and Phillies are working on a Bronson Arroyo for Shane Victorino swap. However, the Cincinnati Enquirer ran the report by a Reds official who said there's nothing to it. Many thanks to Reds beat writer John Fay, who keeps a blog here.

People actually believed it? Arroyo is one of the worst pitchers in baseball right now

Believe it or not, the demand for starting pitching is always high. Though victorino's speed and defense will be missed, the Phillies have several players who could replace him, not to mention I top prospect in AA waiting in the wings. Arroyo may not be pitching well now, but a change of scenery onto a team with a winning record and one looking to go to the post season may just be the push and motivation Bronson needs to do better. It worked in Boston

The only people who are Arroyo fans are his immediate family and Mike Francesa of WFAN's "Mike and the Mad Dog" talk show. He insists that Arroyo would be a valuable addition to the Yankees rotation.

That's a lie. I love Bronson Arroyo...
's music. Decent covers, especially Shimmer by Fuel.
But maybe the change of environment will do him well like pitcher7 said.

The top prospect in AA (greg golson) i believe is hurt or just was hurt and he strikes out a lot something the phillies dont need and theres is no possible way the phillies trade burrell if they trade for arroyo it will be minor leaguers

Victorino is essentially the heart and soul of this lineup this year. Always working even when the others aren't. I can't see him being dealt this year.

"He insists that Arroyo would be a valuable addition to the Yankees rotation. "
Arroyo would be a very welcome addition to the Yankees rotation. He will eat innings and has pitched in the division. He strikes guys out, and has always been pretty good. I wouldn't mind him on the Mets either. Give him a better pitchers park with a little outfield defense and you may be surprised how much better he will be.
