Hector Guevara

[Rangers]

One player to keep an eye on is Guevara, who signed with the Rays for $200,000 and turned 17 in October. Guevara made a strong impression this winter by showing off what he does best: hit. Guevara should be a power hitter in the future, but he displayed excellent hands at the plate and contact-hitting skills in the Liga Paralela, giving him an intriguing package of a player who could hit for both batting average and power. Guevara signed as a shortstop and is a 55 runner on the 20-80 scouting scale, but his defense is raw and he could end up sliding down the defensive spectrum. He gave a preview of his defense this winter by committing 17 errors in 47 games mixed between shortstop, third base and second base, but it’s his bat that the Rays are banking on carrying him to the big leagues.
