Shopping a 4th OF ...

Lou Montanez, http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb ... pid=428642, was at one point a top prospect, but, prior to 2007, he never put it together. Baltimore took a flier on him in 2007 and signed him as a minor league free agent. The move paid off as Montanez went on to win the Double-A Triple Crown as well as put up respectable numbers as a major leaguer in 2008. ... .295/.316/.446 in 112 AB. He hit .335/.385/.601 for Bowie in 2007 and has a career .771 OPS in the minors.

His good bat speed allows him to hit for both average and moderate power - DMB rates the southpaw's power VG against RHP. The skills/tools are there for him to play some centerfield ... though in all honesty, DMB rates him FR at all 3 OF positions with an AG OF arm.
