MLB.com says he has 'warning track power.' That sounds awesome!!

good numbers here. This shows him as a shortstop.

Danagger, he's listed as a LF there, but says he has little outfield experience. Appears to be a slap hitter with speed, but maybe will develop power as he gets older.

To Arizona...

 

4th rounder Charlie Fermaint - CF - Jose S. Alegria HS - PR

 

Strong, multi-tooled outfield prospect with a nice, intriguing collection of pure physical tools. Out of a fine collection of Puerto Rican outfield prospects, Fermaint ranks as the best pure hitter. Also is pretty fast, and has promising power potential as he continues to add strength with maturity. #6 Puerto Rican draft prospect according to Baseball America.

I saw the "warning track power" and it made me roll my eyes as well,. However, I think they're saying that's good power for an 18 yr. old, gains some physical maturity....

Relaxed player, always smiles

 

That was in his MLB.com bio. Does that remind you of any other Latin American outfielder with speed/pop.

 

To me it sounds a bit like Vladimir Guerrero. Now Im not saying his game is anywhere near Vlads (though he seems to have the speed and developing power), the ATTITUDE is a big plus for a clubhouse in my opinion.

 

To me it sounds like the guy won't get phased by pressure or slumps, its good to have a guy that seems to be enjoying himself and I continue to hope attitudes like this rub off on the rest of the Brewers at all the levels. Its little things like this that make a BIG difference.
