Signed as a slick fielder from Curacao, shortstop Andrelton Simmons has already become just as well-known for his bat as his glove: the Curacao native collected the batting title in the high-A Carolina League last year with a .311 average. He also stole 26 bases, though his success rate was somewhere between awful and ungodly. Still, he's a fast, contact hitter with plus instincts, a coaches' favorite who could become the heir apparent to the shortstop job in Atlanta in a couple years, especially if Eddy Salcedo outgrows the position, as expected. Watch for him in late 2013.
