Least Valuable Position Player

Odubel Herrera

The only everyday starter with a worse slugging percentage than Franco? That’s Odubel Herrera.

Herrera had another horrendous week going just 3 for 28 with two doubles and no runs batted in. Herrera is now hitting .237 on the season and has shown zero power through the first 48 games.

Odubel tops the list of players that Matt Klentak needs to evaluate come the trade deadline. His work ethic and poor demeanor could eventually lead to an addition by subtraction move.

Least Valuable Pitcher

Zach Eflin

Eflin is having a horrendous month and this week was no different. The 23-year-old gave up 15 earned runs in just 11 innings this week.

Equally as horrifying is the fact that opponents hit over .400 off Eflin including seven home runs. That is five home runs more than the nearest Phillies pitcher this week. Eflin has now given up 11 home runs on the season and has a 6.13 ERA to show for it.
