Justin Huber was a highly regarded prospect who never panned out.

He peaked as the 66th ranked prospect, according to Baseball America, and the Australian native played on “Team World” in the Futures Game three times. Some of his prospect value deteriorated after a string of minor league knee injuries forced him to move from catcher to first base, but Huber was still able to break into the Majors with Kansas City in 2005.

Things never clicked for him in the bigs, and he began to bounce around a bit. He wound up in the Twins system on a minor league contract in 2009, and he led Triple-A Rochester with 22 home runs and 76 RBI that season. Minnesota rewarded him with a 40-man spot and a September call-up opportunity late in the year, and he went 1-for-2 coming off the bench late in one blowout loss. It was his only game with the Twins, and the final appearance of his Major League career.

Minnesota brought him back for spring training in 2010, but DFA’d him to clear up 40-man space for other players as part of their final roster decisions. Huber played the 2010 season in Japan, spent 2011 in the Atlantic League, then continued to play professionally in his native Australia through 2015.
