Vinnie Catricala

A 2009 10th-round pick out of Hawaii, Catricala was named the organization's Minor League Player of the Year last season. Catricala first gained notoriety at High-A High Desert where he showed a good batting eye with 33 walks to 45 strikeouts and posted a .996 OPS. After a mid-season promotion, he proved his production was no fluke of the hitter-friendly California League as he not only kept pace but outperformed his Cal League numbers with a 1.052 OPS at Double-A Jackson. His 48 doubles and 77 extra-base hits between both stops each ranked second in the minors last season. Catricala, who according to scouts has limited range and a weak arm, has yet to settle on a position after splitting time at third base, first base and outfield last season. Catricala should land a promotion to Triple-A this season with a possible September call-up if he keeps hitting.
