2012
The fact that he's already 24 years old and still sitting in Double-A is a bit disconcerting, but the minor league totals indicate a solid combination of both power and speed as well as a knack for getting on base at a rapid rate. His power totals have gradually increased each season, culminating with 19 home runs last year, and he's posted an ISO just above .200 over the last two seasons. Last year, he swiped 36 bases with a 75 percent success rate and with a 13.5 percent walk rate, amassed a .393 OBP giving the Padres strong reason to have him bypass Triple-A and head right to the majors once in May and another time in August. Obviously he was only needed for short stints, but hopefully he benefits from the experience. Expect to see Tekotte start the season in Triple-A and be on the short list of callups if the big club needs outfield help.
