After some debate, the Phillies have decided to carry 11 pitchers for the National League Division Series against the Cardinals. The Phillies announced their roster this afternoon. Manager Charlie Manuel would not definitively say that was the plan at his news conference earlier today, but gave that indication. The 11 pitchers are righthanders Joe Blanton, Roy Halladay, Kyle Kendrick, Brad Lidge, Ryan Madson, Roy Oswalt, Michael Stutes, Vance Worley and lefthanders Antonio Bastardo, Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee. The Phillies will carry six infielders in Ryan Howard, Michael Martinez, Placido Polanco, Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Wilson Valdez; six outfielders in Ben Francisco, Ross Gload, Raúl Ibañez, John Mayberry Jr., Hunter Pence and Shane Victorino; and catchers Carlos Ruiz and Brian Schneider.

Vance Worley of the Reading Phillies picked up the win in the Eastern League All-Star Game, pitching a shutout inning as the South beat the North, 5-3, last night at Waterfront Park.

The Phillies' Joe Savery started for the South and pitched one scoreless inning. Reading outfielder Michael Taylor singled in the game's final run in the top of the ninth.

BELLY UP to the bar for a little trivia. Who was the last (and only) Phillies pitcher to win the Baseball Writers' Association Rookie of the Year? Jack Sanford, 1957. The next question is more timely. Could Vance Worley be next? Maybe. Worley's terrific run of dominance has vaulted him into the rookie-of-the-year discussion with a couple of Braves and maybe the guy from the Mets with the funny last name. Three weeks ago, Craig Kimbrel was well out front.
