A swift outfielder who showed great promise, Stone never developed as the Phillies hoped. Recalled from Portland in late 1984, he hit .362 and stole 27 bases in 51 games with the Phillies, but succeeding seasons featured more strikeouts than stolen bases, and long stints at the Triple-A level. He was traded to Baltimore in 1988, but spent most of the season with the Rochester Red Wings.
