The Book on Carlos Triunfel
Prospect Info
Carlos Triunfel
Born 2/27/1990
3B, SEA
Another in the endless parade of young hitters in the Mariners' system, Triunfel is intriguing because of his advanced batting development at an early age. While he lacks real power, he does have line-drive stroke and an ability to work to all fields.
A fiery competitor, no teenage shortstop looked as close to big-league-ready since Hanley Ramirez. Of course, due to Triunfel's plus arm and below-average speed, he's already been moved to third base, with right field or even first base possible as future stops on the spectrum... especially if his body continues to fill out. He's a few years away from his real talent (and body), but he remains a top-flight prospect, especially in the shallow Mariners system.
