Prospect Q&A - Michael Taylor, Phillies

The defending World Champion Phillies lead the National League in runs, home runs, RBI, slugging percentage and total bases, so it almost seems unfair that Michael Taylor appears nearly ready to join their already stacked lineup. The 6-foot-6, 250-pound outfielder hit .346 with 19 home runs while splitting time between Class A and advanced Class A in 2008 and has continued mashing this season for Double-A Reading. The 23-year-old ranks in the Eastern League's top seven in all three Triple Crown categories with a .333 average (fifth), 10 home runs (fifth) and 42 RBI (seventh). The linebacker-sized slugger also ranks eighth in the circuit with 10 stolen bases in 14 attempts.
