RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

There was no outlook written for Erik Komatsu.

2011

Komatsu hit .321/.411/.440 for High-A Brevard County in 2010 after missing most of 2009 due to injuries. He also stole 28 bases in 37 chances, showing good speed. Most scouts see him more as a fourth outfielder due to a lack of power, but he's hit well when healthy and could be a leadoff candidate in the future. He'll start 2011 at Double-A Huntsville.
