Phillies: Which players still need to step it up?

Last month, we previewed three Philadelphia Phillies with something to prove in spring training.

With the regular season about two weeks away, let’s check in on how those Phillies are doing.

Nick Williams

Outfielder Nick Williams is trying to earn his spot as a primary back-up to the expected starting trio of Andrew McCutchen, Adam Haseley and Bryce Harper, and the former top prospect Williams had a strong start to spring before fading.

In his first game on February 22 against the Detroit Tigers, Williams went 1-1 with two walks.
