The Book on Justin Huber
Prospect Info
Justin Huber
Born 7/1/1982
1B, SD
The Australian connection never did arrive in Kansas City Junction, despite his great offensive power. Originally drafted by the New York Mets, Huber was part of the 2004 trade for Kris Benson.
A converted catcher who could still serve as a backup there, Huber has line-drive power with very high on-base skills. He lurked in the shadows of Kansas City just behind Alex Gordon and Billy Butler, never quite breaking past them. He's a good player who deserves a full-time gig in MLB, but he'll be hard-pressed to find it in San Diego. Even if the Padres can make space for his all-bat approach, Petco is a poor showcase.
