One of the more intriguing new wave of Cuban prospects, outfielder Jorge Padron is a stocky contact bat who hits from the left side. As Pinar del Rio's left fielder, Padron was among the league leaders with a .345 average. A spray hitter with gap-to-gap power, his performance against lefties makes him iffy to stick as everyday player in MLB, but his dominance of righthanded pitching and some hard work in the minors for a year or two should be enough to get him a look in Boston. Kendry Morales wasn't as polished at the same age, after all.
