The Cincinnati Reds' Minor League Player of the Year for 2008, infielder Chris Valaika has kept on developing since, slashing .261/.302/.355 in AAA Louisville last season and ending the season with his second MLB callup.He looks like a long-term shortstop, with good hands and quick feet. At the plate, he has an aggressive approach that's working well so far, with good line-drive power that could blossom into 20-homer pop in the future. He'll probably start the year back in AAA, but he'll be on speed dial once again.
