The Book on Wladimir Balentien
Prospect Info
Wladimir Balentien
Born 7/2/1984
OF, SEA
Apparently waised on an island where the letter V was an omen of terrible luck, Balentien has had an easier time stateside. The PCL Rookie of the Year in 2007, Big Wladdy (?) might see some action with the Mariners soon, likely in a platoon, since the Mariners are stacked in young hitting already. He's also a tantalizing trade piece.
