After an unsuccessful attempt to revive his career in San Francisco as a shortstop, former Phillies pitching prospect Kyle Drabek will try one more time to make his return to the major leagues.
From playing in the 2009 MLB Futures game, to repeatedly hitting the waiver wire, Drabek’s MLB journey has been quite the roller coaster. Drabek may be best known to Phils fans as the centerpiece in the Roy Halladay deal with Toronto.
Philadelphia knew Drabek had the potential to be elite, but his hefty injury history, as well as the pressure to win now compelled the Phillies to make the move for the potential future hall-of-famer.
