All Phillies fans wanted in the summer of 2012 was to see Darin Ruf on the big league team. He was a kid who came out of nowhere and was putting up ridiculous numbers in the minor leagues, numbers that made fans salivate at the thought.

So, what happened to Darin Ruf?
Ruf was originally drafted by the Phillies in the 20th round of the 2009 MLB June Amateur Draft from Creighton University.
