Analysis
Prieto looks like he has a big-league future, but he was sufficiently blocked in the Orioles organization. A 24-year-old Cuban infielder, Prieto is hitting .317/.365/.471 with two home runs, two steals and an 8.7 percent strikeout rate in 27 games at Triple-A Norfolk. He'll likely report to the Cardinals' top affiliate in Memphis but could be in the mix for a late-season call-up to the big leagues.
