John Lannan
We are in the final week of spring training and in one week's time, every game played will matter. The Phillies will be in Atlanta on April 1st, but before they head down south they will stop at Citizens Bank Park for a three-game On-Deck Series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Today John Lannan (1-1, […]
John Lannan looked very, very dominant this afternoon in Port Charlotte, Florida. The Phillies would not go on to win today's game, but consider Lannan's success a victory in itself.
