Centerfielder Greg Golson is having a great start to the season at double-A Reading
Golson, Philadelphia's 2004 first-round draft pick, is finally starting to show signs of becoming a legitimate major leaguer. The 22-year-old is batting .322 with six home runs and 32 RBIs through Friday, May 30.
Golson, who is often considered a better version of Michael Bourn, has struggled during his four-year tenure in the minors. He struck out 173 times in 571 at-bats a year ago and had a.260 career average coming into this season.
While the Phillies could use him now considering Jayson Werth's injury status, it appears that Golson won't be called up to the bigs until September at the earliest.
Actually, Golson's rise to the big leagues could happen a lot sooner if the Phillies entertain trade offers for one of their current outfielders. More on that later...
