RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2007

Gimenez hit .273/.331/.389 at Triple-A Round Rock last season. His defensive ability is going to get him to the majors, however, as he has a plus arm, quick release, and above-average receiving skills. He likes to take chances and try to pick baserunners off, and has the arm and accuracy to do so. He'll likely start the year with the Express, but could be called up during the season.

2006

The marginal catching prospect repeated Double-A, improving without doing anything impressive. Glove rep will get him to the majors in '07, but his future is as a backup.

2004

Gimenez is more advanced defensively than fellow Astros catching prospect John Buck, particularly in his throwing ability. His bat needs a lot of work still, however - at least two more years of seasoning in the minors.

2003
