*Nicaraguan Prospect Winter League*
Jen (Jem) Argenal (November 28 Signing) is batting .333 with two doubles, one triple, seven RBIs, three runs, six walks, three stolen bases, four strikeouts, .423 OBA, and a .422 SLG in 16 games for Cardenales de Unica.
Argenal is tied for seventh in the league with a .333 batting average.
Cardenales de Unica (8-8) hosts Boer American College (11-3) for a doubleheader on Friday.
As an added bonus...another prospect I plan to keep an eye on is Cheslor Cuthbert. He's batting .333 with seven doubles, one home run, nine RBIs, seven runs, five walks, one stolen base, five strikeouts, .484 OBA, and a .542 SLG in 16 games for Unica. Cuthbert will not be able to sign a contract until next July. I'm told he is being heavely scouted by the majors and could be looking at a big pay check next summer.
