Galvis honored to be representing Venezuela

Galvis, who will report to Florida for Spring Training soon, has been around long enough to know that it's always a good idea for players to show up to camp game-ready or close. It's particularly important when you have a top prospect that plays the same position breathing down your neck like he does.

"My commitment was to be with [Zulia] no matter how far it went," Galvis, 27, said. "Thank God, I got the permission [from the Phillies] to play. I have never been in a Caribbean Series, so this is a beautiful experience and we are here to work hard to give our best.
