Nick Williams giving Phillies missing ingredient — a feared hitter — early in career
Nick Williams has been a major-leaguer less than three weeks and his progress has accelerated so swiftly that the Phillies are already trying to pump the breaks. Im not going to say a whole lot about him right now, manager Pete Mackanin said of his 23-year-old rookie right fielder. Williams, elevated to the three-hole in the batting order on Tuesday, is batting .316 with four doubles, two triples and three homers including one grand slam in just 16 games.
