Puerto Rican prospect Neftali Soto is a toolsy infielder who's growing up fast in the Reds' power-packed farm system. Following a down year at high-A Lynchburg, he bounced back strong in 2011 with a .272/.329/.575 line at AA Carolina while smashing 30 homers, and even had a nice taste of AAA in which he hit .412 in four games. His increasing size and strength are making third base a chore, so he might need to make 1B or RF his home soon. He should get to see Great American in 2012, though maybe not in April.
