The Globe's Peter Abraham sums up how I've been feeling all day: "Yeah, it's corny. But if you aren't happy for Scott Atchison today, you have no heart."
I hope he has a good season. He deserves success.
"That is special," he said. "I've been up and down before but I've never made a team out of spring training."
Atchison, smiling widely, said it was third-happiest day of his life behind the day he got married and the day Callie was born. Can't beat that.
If he didn't make the team, you can bet that Ruben Amaro Jr. would have been looking him over.
Joe Blanton will be out three to six weeks, which means three Phillies pitchers are starting the season on the disabled list. Kyle Kendrick will get to start, but the Phillies are scrambling to fill out their staff. There's no such thing as too much pitching.
