The Book on Andy Cannizaro
Prospect Info
Andy Cannizaro
Born 12/19/1978
SS, TB
While lost in the sea of Tampa prospects, Andy Cannizaro deserves a look as an up-and-coming middle infielder, even though he's of advanced age for a prospect.
His glove, one of the best in all the minors, is considered major-league ready, and his bat has been steadily improving: the .378 OBP he posted in 52 winter-ball games has the Rays front office talking about letting him compete for a starting job in 2008. If one of Tampa's super-IF prospects (Brignac or Longoria) can't cut it or gets hurt, Cannizaro might break out before either. A sleeper of the late-blooming variety.
