PROSPECT: Orelvis Martinez, 2B, Toronto Blue Jays
ERIC CROSS' LATEST PROSPECT RANKING: #9
CALL-UP ETA: May
ANALYSIS: Toronto prospect Orelvis Martinez is a player you probably should be stashing right now. Martinez is one you can definitely consider to be on a fast track to the majors with how he's started the season.
Orelvis Martinez now has SIX home runs in his last seven games.

Martinez swatted six home runs over the last week and is now slashing .333/.392/.681 in 79 plate appearances in Triple-A. However, he's also made five errors already at second base, which might be the only thing delaying his imminent call-up. While Martinez won't provide many steals, he'll make an impact in the power department while providing a decent AVG as well.
