Chase Utley Available in 2003 Draft


After spending his minor league career as a second baseman, Chase Utley jumped from A-ball to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre in 2002 and spent the year playing third base. He hit 17 home runs in 461 at-bats. However, Utley made 28 errors and posted a .918 fielding percentage in 123 games.
Nevertheless, Utley figures to be a high first round draft pick for some patient manager.
