Triantos bomb #2

Very fun to have Triantos hitting. It would be so fun to have a true-blue hitter.

Stevens, the big Cuban outfielder, has 6 HR in 24 games, and a .960 OPS. Obviously all the other Mesa fascinating prospects are teenagers with projection, and he's already turned 22. So, probably not going to be a real prospect. But I'm not sure how much baseball he's actually played. Maybe the over-age factor isn't as strong a red-flag as in years past?

 

When the Cubs originally signed him for $300, he was originally reported as a pitcher in some sources (Bleacher Nation, for example.). That might suggest he'll have a good RF arm.
