Phillies' Alec Bohm: Should see some DH at-bats
Bohm may not open the season on the big-league roster but should see some time at designated hitter this season, Todd Zolecki reports.
How exactly teams use prospects like Bohm, who ideally would have gotten a bit more minor-league seasoning before making their MLB debuts, will be one of the storylines to watch in the strange upcoming season. Bohm is undoubtedly part of the Phillies' future and is probably at least serviceable at the big-league level already, though he's yet to reach Triple-A and has played just 63 Double-A games. With no minor-league games for him to develop in and a heightened sense of urgency to win now in a 60-game season, though, he'll likely be asked to fill a role at the highest level quite early. Jay Bruce is the Phillies' most natural designated hitter candidate against righties, but Bohm could get at-bats against lefties fairly early on.
