J.P. Crawford: September 1st

When the major league rosters expand in September, the J.P. Crawford era will officially begin. The Phillies top prospect gets the chance to prove himself, with a slow start to be expected. In every level of competition, Crawford usually takes a couple of weeks to get adjusted before he feels comfortable.

Freddy Galvis’s days are numbered as a major league starter. Unless the Phillies want to try him at second to keep his glove on the field, his role as a bench player officially begins.
