The Book on Yadil Mujica
Prospect Info
Yadil Mujica
Born 1/1/1985
SS, FA
A mature prospect who'll be 26 (or so) later this year, Cuban Yadil Mujica is a contact hitter with plus speed, good range and a plus arm from shortstop. In his last year in Cuba, he hit .358/.432/.440, that average enough for twelfth-best in the league (modern Cuban baseball is hitter-friendly, which explains why so few Cuban pitchers stick in MLB.)
His future depends mightily on the organization that signs him, but he'd be a good fit on a number of teams, especially West Coast ones, and should get chance as at least a bench option in 2010. If he gets a minor league assignment, he could emerge as a starting candidate for 2011.
