Victorino on the other hand...
100+ runs the last two years, hit .314 vs. LHP in '09 and his career high in strikeouts (71) is less than a hundred than Granderson's career high (174).
He had the best arm on earth, if you didn't include Ichiro, and he just won a Gold Glove.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Is Victorino available or something?

If we're going to trade for someone, I'd rather look for someone more like him. With the Phillies going after Figgins and DeRo, they could afford to listen to offers for Victorino. I'd rather look at all the options than just Granderson.

I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
