Phillies prospect Tyson Gillies busted with cocaine

This won't make anyone unhappy with the Phillies trade of Cliff Lee feel any better. According to Philly.com, Tyson Gillies, a prospect the Phillies acquired from the Mariners for Lee, was arrested in Florida and charged with possession of cocaine. He was released after posting his $2000 bond.

Gillies had been playing Double A in Reading but has been out with an injured hamstring for the past two months. There's no word yet on whether he will see any jail time or be suspended.
