Expectations were low when the Phillies drafted Odubel Herrera out of the Rangers organization in the 2014 Rule 5 Draft. An infielder who never played above Double-A, Herrera was a lottery ticket the Phillies were hoping to cash in on.
After moving Herrera from second base to center field, Philadelphia was pleasantly surprised with what they got out of Herrera his rookie year when he posted a .297 batting average with 30 doubles.
Herrera has had a Jekyll and Hyde career with highs and lows equally unmatched, going from an MVP candidate to mindboggling absent in a season.
