(*) MINORS: Traded prospects, Class of 2012, Pt. 2

A primer on prospects (those who have not appeared in MLB) traded during the 2012 season. For coverage of July 1-29, see Pt. 1 here.

 

July 31

Christian Villanueva, 3B
Traded from TEX to CHC in Dempster deal
2012 stats: .285/.356/.421 with 10 HR and 19 doubles in 375 AB
Current age/level: 21, High-A Myrtle Beach
Summary: Villanueva is enjoying another solid season after hitting .278/.338/.465 in 2011 at Low-A Hickory. At 5-11, 160, he’s seen as more as a pure hitter at third base than a classic corner slugger. But he’s also just 21 with development time in front of him. There’s a good foundation here.
Immediate future: Villanueva will report to High-A Daytona.

Kyle Hendricks, RHP
Traded from TEX to CHC in Dempster deal
