Early Career
In 1999, in the Philadelphia Phillies minor league system, Taylor managed to hit 10 triples. While playing winter baseball in the offseason, Taylor dislocated his shoulder. The injury required surgery and Taylor did not play winter baseball again until May of 2000. When he returned from his injury in the 2000 baseball season, he joined the lineup of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Two games after coming back from his injury, Taylor became the second Scranton player ever to collect 5 hits in a game. During the season, Taylor played in 89 games and matched his career high of 15 home runs. The Philadelphia Phillies called Taylor up from their minor league system in September of that season.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:
“The secret of heaven is kept from age to age. No imprudent, no sociable angel ever dropt an early syllable to answer the longings of saints, the fears of mortals. We should have listened on our knees to any favorite, who, by stricter obedience, had brought his thoughts into parallelism with the celestial currents, and could hint to human ears the scenery and circumstance of the newly parted soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
