Laugh now, but right-hander Jimmy Herget has a chance to leave Goodyear, Arizona with a spot on the 25-man roster. Though a lot of other pitchers on the Cincinnati Reds roster will be able to say the same thing, none of them deliver the ball like Herget.
Full disclosure, Jimmy Herget is one of my favorite young players on the Reds. Cincinnati protected Herget from the Rule 5 Draft earlier this offseason for a reason. After the flurry of trades we’ve seen this offseason, Herget now finds himself as the No. 11 ranked prospect in the Reds farm system according to MLB Pipeline.
