Realistically, Jennings was only a quality player for three seasons. In 2013, he won the starting Centerfield job for Tampa and would have over 115 Hits in each of those seasons. Jennings was an above-average Centerfielder on the defensive side, though he was a light hitter, whose career Slash Line of .245/.322/.393 was not the most impressive. He would deal with injuries in 2015 and be released a year later.
Again, when you have a team this young, a three-year starter can finish high on a list like this.14. Desmond Jennings
