Phillies' Nick Williams: Added to 40-man roster Friday
Williams was added to Philadelphia's 40-man roster Friday.
Analysis:
Williams' batting average wasn't as good as some hoped last season, but the 13 home runs and career-high 33 doubles with Triple-A Lehigh Valley were enough to get the top prospect a 40-man roster spot this offseason. Given the Phillies' rebuilding status, he could very well push for a spot on the major league roster if he continues to improve against upper-level pitching.
