The two top candidates for the final spot in the Phillies rotation performed well on Monday.
One guy throws with the right hand and misses bats with lots of heat and movement. The other guy throws with the left hand, must softer, with finesse.
Both were on display Monday as the Phillies defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates in Grapefruit League action 1-0. Vincent Velasquez (he likes to be called "Vince" by the way) started the game and threw three innings of shutout ball, giving up three hits with a walk and three strikeouts.
