Phillies Designate Emmanuel for Assignment, and there was much rejoicing

Last week I referenced the scene in “Major League” where the players come in from spring training practices hoping not to see a red tag hanging in their locker.

One of my least favorite Phillies in recent memory, not because he was a bad guy or he pissed off the fans for some egregious act, but because he stunk up the field and was hogging a roster spot.

That reference was pointed towards utility man Emmanuel Burriss, who’s lowly .121 batting average was as bit a waste of a roster spot as I have ever seen.
