2012
Herndon spent the majority of last season with the Phillies working in low-leverage relief situations. He posted solid numbers but benefited from a .270 BABIP as well. Herndon relies heavily on his sinker though he was able to increase his K/9IP to an acceptable level last season. He still has some work to do on cutting back on his walks, but he has the tools to be a successful middle reliever. He'll compete for a relief job this spring, but may spend more time at Triple-A after failing to make the Phillies' postseason roster in October.
2011
The Phillies grabbed Herndon from the Angels in last year's Rule 5 Draft and kept him on their roster all season. Herndon posted decent numbers for the Phils working primarily in a mop-up role. He isn't a strikeout pitcher and instead relies on his sinker to get outs on the ground. The Phillies will likely have him compete for a bullpen job this spring, but Herndon will likely end up in Triple-A at the start of the season to get some additional work.
2010
Herndon posted a 3.03 ERA with a 35:14 K:BB ratio in 65 innings for Double-A Arkansas, with 11 saves. His K:IP ratio was weak, but he posted a 2.25 GO:AO ratio. He could be a useful middle relief arm if he throws enough strikes in the majors with his sinker/slider combination.
