Justin Verlander can be a persuasive fellow. You need little more evidence of this than the dexterous ability he showed this week to flip the script after he flipped off Phillies fans and came out looking like a hero and smelling like a rose. The made-for-video meeting with the offended pearl-clutching Phillies fan couldn’t have
