2012
Pastornicky had a breakout season in 2011 that could put him in position to be Atlanta's starting shortstop as early as 2012. He improved in his second season at Double-A by hitting .299/.345/.414 with 20 stolen bases in 90 games. He then was promoted to Triple-A where he hit a scorching .365/.407/.413 in just 27 games. While Pastornicky is seen as a strong defensive player, it's not clear he'll hit enough to be a regular in the majors, his lack of power may limit his upside and the Braves look deep in shortstop prospects. Still, Pastornicky could emerge with the starting shortstop job this spring if the Braves don't acquire a veteran shortstop.
