Spencer Howard could be limited to 150 innings or less in 2020

When will Spencer Howard, the Philadelphia Phillies top pitching prospect, make his major league debut? With Spring Training looming – and Howard invited to major league camp – that question is at the forefront of the minds of Phillies fans.

This proved true on Tuesday night at the Baseballtown Winter Caravan at the Crowne Plaza Reading, as a fan decided to ask new Phillies manager Joe Girardi if Howard will be with the big-league team in 2020 and how he could help the team during a question and answer session.

Girardi laughed and mentioned that this was probably a better question for assistant general manager Scott Proefrock, who was also onstage.
