Just saying the name Domonic Brown is like a curse word for Phillies fans. The former top prospect gave the team enough hope to let Jayson Werth walk in free agency, but after one strong half in 2013, he fell off the rails. I ranked Brown as the top prospect who never panned out for the Phils.
Brown reached his apex of potential in 2011 when Baseball America ranked Brown as the No. 4 prospect in all of baseball. He ranked ahead of such players as Aroldis Chapman, Eric Hosmer, and Manny Machado.
