Oft-injured Phillies prospect Roman Quinn gaining versatility

READING - Roman Quinn's first double-A start in right field last week ended with his throwing out three baserunners. That position, Quinn joked afterward with Reading manager Dusty Wathan, is now his favorite.

Quinn - who had converted two years ago from shortstop to centerfielder - is learning how to play left and right fields as the Phillies look to add versatility to his game. He could head to the majors in September, when rosters expand.

The Phillies already have two players vying for time in center.

"You'd hate for a guy to go up there and not have the opportunity to have played left and right field," Wathan said.
