Phillies: Top 10 Players with the Most Trade Deadline Value
Odubel Herrera
They are many legitimate reasons to keep Odubel and make him the leadoff hitter for a World Series team in Philadelphia. He consistently hits .300, brings solid defense, and speed on the basepads.
However, there are just as many reasons to be taking calls on him and consider your options. The Phillies have three legitimate centerfield prospects in their organization: Nick Williams, Mickey Moniak, and Roman Quinn. Second, Herrera’s bonehead plays as a baserunner, at the plate, and in the field will hurt him and the Phillies.
If someone came to Matt Klentak and offered a solid package for a young .300 hitter with decent defense, he would have to strongly consider making the move at the right price.
