July 2 Notebook: International Outfield Bonanza

Another one of Guillen’s outfielders drawing attention for his hitting is Carlos Talavera (video), who can sign once he turns 16 on July 3. At 6 feet, 160 pounds, Talavera is a switch-hitter who some scouts like for his bat and ability to play center field. He has shown a bit of power to his pull side, though he mostly works the gaps and might not have as much power potential as Rodriguez. He might end up in a corner, but some scouts say he can play center field, with average to a tick above-average speed and a solid arm, so he could end up along the lines of Angel Pagan. Several sources said Talavera is one of the Cardinals’ primary targets and should be able to draw a mid-six-figure bonus.
