victorino avoids arbitration

Add Shane Victorino to the list of Phillies avoiding arbitration. Today he signed a one-year deal worth $3.125 million. Not bad for a pay raise and good for both player and team. Vic deserves it, too, for his speedy play both during the season and in post-season. Gotta love a player that so many fans of other teams cannot stand! Ask Mets fans, ask Dodgers fans.

Still to go: Joe Blanton, Chad Durbin, Jayson Werth, and Ryan Howard.
