Kenly Hunter is 1 for 1 with a walk and 2 SBs. He has 7 steals in 7 games now for DSL Cardinals. Hitting .280 with an .859 OPS. 17 year old CF from Nicaragua that got a $700,000 signing bonus, I believe it was the highest signing bonus ever for a Nicaraguan born player.

Looks like we have several compelling starting pitchers going today.

700K... Wow! Does this signify the Cards going another way in their search for international talent? It would seem so...

Do you think Padilla will be promoted this year?

probably...FCL is a short season league. They moved their schedule up a month last season so the Kids/Players weren't waiting 2 1/2 months to play competive games after Spring Training. Around draft time/ASB the league will end. He's compelling enough to promote to PMB.
I'd let him finish the FCL season, get guaranteed AB's, 4-5 days a week....then promote, if that's the plan

Only 18 and power should come, but would be encouraging to see any power from him. 2 doubles and 0 home runs in 75 at bats is starting to limit the interest in him as a prospect.

3 triples, too. I wouldn’t use this year to “limit interest” in him at all. Like you said, only 18 and power should come. He’s got a great frame to fill out into, he’s like 6’4”. If his power comes at all he’s got star potential.

Often times triples are misplays (especially in rookie ball) or groundballs down the line, so don't usually monitor 3Bs too much w/prospects.

With the number of bases he steals, 3 triples could be legit. He's obviously fast.
