The San Diego Padres third round pick of the 2006 MLB Draft, Hunter dominated the rookie league with a league-best .371 average immediately after signing, but has been less stellar since, though he's always played well enough to stay on the charts and move up the levels when appropriate. Most recently, he banged an acceptable 255 .322 .358 line at AAA Tuscon and went 1-for-4 (single, caught stealing) in a brief cup of coffee. He's looking a lot like a fourth outfielder to us, but the way Petco burns them out, that might be enough to guarantee him MLB time in 2012 right there.
