4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera went 2-for-3 with a home run in a Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. Don't look now, but Herrera is batting .300 this spring with two homers and a stolen base. With Scott Kingery and Roman Quinn both failing to make noise in the center field position battle, Herrera is very much in play to be the Opening Day starter. The team will face some PR backlash if Herrera wins the job, but simply looking at their performance this spring Herrera seems to have the inside track. Herrera was a .255 hitter with 22 homers last time we saw a full season from him in 2018 before his domestic violence suspension. He would have deep-league fantasy value if he finds himself in a starting role.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
