Little if anything remains of the prospect pedigree which saw Appel drafted No. 1 overall ahead of Kris Bryant in the 2013 draft. Appel recently cleared waivers, and he'll start 2018 at Triple-A Lehigh Valley off of the Phillies' 40-man roster, meaning he isn't likely to be one of the first pitchers called up in the event of an injury. Appel's numbers in Triple-A last season make it pretty clear why no team claimed him; he posted a well-deserved 5.27 ERA, with a low strikeout rate (6.6 K/9) and a very high walk rate (5.8 BB/9). As a 26-year-old with no major-league experience, Appel has very limited value in all but the deepest of leagues. Appel is unlikely to earn much if any playing time in the majors this season, and has given little reason to believe he'll perform well if he does get time, as he hasn't posted an ERA lower than 4.26 at any minor-league stop since 2014.
