Rockies prospect rankings: No. 18 Rosell Herrera heating up, still underperforming

Though he's been better lately, Herrera is in the midst of a second consecutive concerning season. He's losing some steam as a prospect because of it.

PuRP No. 18: Rosell Herrera (401 points, 31 ballots) | Winter 2014 Ranking: 10 | High Ballot 10, Mode Ballot 20

It seems like Rosell Herrera has been a prospect forever. Indeed, the 22-year-old out of the Dominican Republic has received votes in every PuRPs list I've tallied points for (since the spring 2010 list). After signing for a $550,000 bonus in 2009, Herrera played for the DSL Rockies in 2010 then the Casper Ghosts in 2011, putting up roughly league average results in both stops despite being young for the league.
