BP Annual Player Comments

Year		Comment
2016		Elian Herrera became the third player to ever hit a grand slam off Burke Badenhop, the other two being Ryan Theriot and Brooks Conrad. And that's the worst Sporcle quiz in the history of mankind. You're welcome.
2015		Herrera's season could be encapsulated in a single defensive play in right field: On September 29th, the Brewers clung to a one-run lead in the seventh inning against the Cardinals. Herrera fielded the baseball near the warning track and proceeded to spike his throw directly into the ground in front of him. Herrera stood frozen with slumped shoulders, helplessly watching as the ball trickled down the first-base line toward the infield. Two runs came around to score and the Brewers lost the game.
2014		The speed and defensive versatility of Elian Herrera support his candidacy for big-league utilityman, but it's damning that he amassed just eight appearances for a Dodger club that endured as many injuries as a utilityman could possibly voodoo up.
2013		Signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2003, Herrera toiled in the minors for nine years without landing on the major-league radar, but versatility, a hot start at Albuquerque and Mark Ellis's injury propelled him to the Dodgers in mid-May. He started hot (.305/.407/.390 in 124 PA through June 17) before pitchers caught up to him, but hit .183/.247/.256 the rest of the way while bouncing around the diamond and back to Triple-A a couple of times. Decent on-base skills—particularly against lefties—and the ability to play second, third, and all three outfield positions with competence make him a reasonable choice as a utilityman, though redundant in the presence of Hairston.
