RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

There was no outlook written for Kyle Hudson.

2012

Hudson earned a cup of coffee in the big leagues in 2011 after a 68-game stint at Triple-A. He simply has no power to speak of – he has yet to hit a home run in his professional career, dating to 2008. He can take a walk at the lower levels and steal bases when he gets on, but it doesn't seem he will be able to force MLB pitchers to throw the ball out of the strike zone. He'll get a full crack at Triple-A in 2012.
