It’s difficult enough to separate yourself from the pack developmentally during the MLB offseason. Guillermo Heredia will be entering his third MLB season after spending most of this winter rehabbing from surgery on a separated shoulder suffered early in 2017 and exacerbated in early September. The mostly unheralded prospect has shown speed, defense, and even the occasional flash offensively. To earn a full-time role, however, his best bet is taking a few tips from Jarrod Dyson and Dee Gordon on the basepaths.
Why a separated shoulder is an admissible injury to play through in MLB I’m not sure I know.
