He went 4-5 today raising his average on the season to .398.   You do not trade that.  

 

His defense at 2nd is only average but you could bat him in the leadoff position and get a lot of on base there....

Sounds like a Luis Arraez comp to me. Which got the Twins Pablo Lopez (granted Arraez did it in the majors). Not bad for a guy who is barely on the radar due to the depth in the system.

Sure you do. He doesn't draw walks and he hasn't hit for much power in AA. His value is entirely based on him hitting tons of singles. I know he isn't a normal prospect, but he's also 24 in AA. He's very tradable if another team values him.

Well, hitting damn near .400 in AA after a month is pretty wild. Surely we can cut bait with Lara at AAA even if we don't promote Westburg or Ortiz to ML? 

You mean Lara who’s had all of 9 PA?  If we want Prieto to get consistent playing time, it’s going to have to be at Bowie until one of Norby/Westburg/Ortiz is promoted or traded.

3 for 3 so far tonight. Average is at 373.

I think he may be the type of player that Elias tries to dangle at the trade deadline. Not sure other teams will want him as a headliner, but he might be a secondary piece to a bigger trade.
