A headline acquisition as part of the trade of pitcher Matt Garza, Hak-Ju Lee is a big, powerful shortstop from Korea who's now prominently positioned in the Tampa Bay system. Already a polished hitter (.317/.389/.442 at high-A Charlotte last year), Lee seems to have the footwork and arm to stick at shortstop, too, and he's shown improvement in the field every season. His 32 steals in 2010 is also a highlight worth remembering. He should get a shot at Tampa life come September, and compete for a job in 2013.
