2015 Phillies Report Card: Elvis Araujo

If the firing of Phillies scouting director Marti Wolever at the end of the 2014 season left the Phillies pro scouting department all shook up this winter, it didn’t show. In December, they added Odubel Herrera through the Rule 5 Draft and he went on to have arguably the greatest season ever by a Rule 5’er. Jerad Eickhoff’s stellar debut gave them promising early returns on trade acquisitions. Additionally, in one of their more under the radar successes, they signed minor league free agent Elvis Araujo to a major league deal last November.
