Galvis to focus on offensive production
Freddy Galvis discusses his recent injury and the disappointment of being forced to sit out the World Baseball ClassicDespite that, he is asked if he needs to be better in 2017, considering J.P. Crawford is opening the season in Triple-A.
"I'm just trying to get better every day and put up a better offensive year and go from there," Galvis said, shaking his head before turning away.
Galvis, 27, finds himself in an interesting spot as the Phillies hold their first full-squad workout on Friday. He combined power and defense last season, but posted a .274 on-base percentage. It ranked last out of 146 qualified hitters in baseball and 485th out of 490 qualified Phillies hitters since 1913.
