After hard year, Roman Quinn and Dylan Cozens now playing catch-up for Phillies | Mike Sielski

CLEARWATER, Fla. – There was a time not too long ago, and maybe that time was as recent as last year, when someone could have thought that the Phillies’ starting outfield Sunday, in their 8-3 spring-training loss to the Yankees, would be their starting outfield for the foreseeable future. On manager Gabe Kapler’s lineup card, Nick Williams was in left field, and one would have expected, by now, that Williams would be in consideration for one of the team’s three regular outfield spots. And he is. But it was the players in the other two positions who gave you reason to wonder what might have been.
