Right? Chris Herrmann going opposite field yard was something you really only saw Jim Thome do a few years ago.

He's not really a prospect, per se. But Herrmann is a really interesting player that I want to see succeed. Given Gardy's weird hair-pulling over losing the DH if his catcher goes down, having Herrmann become a real boy would be nice. He's basically an athletic Doumit with more versatility (as in, he can actually play the positions that Doumit occupies) but less bat. But he could still have some bat. And some is good enough for a LF/RF/C.

Basically, Herrmann the big-leaguer is like having a 26 man roster.
