Drafted as a shortstop, the switch-hitting Ahrens has since been moved to 3B due to his lack of speed and fielding quickness. His bat is solid, though, especially from the right side, from which he can hit for both power and average at a near-MLB level, despite his young age. He improved on his 2010 numbers when he returned to high-A Dunedin in 2011, slashing .242/.334/.389 and popping 13 homers in 429 at-bats. He'll try to make the move to double-A this season.
