Ethan Salas Living Up To The Hype
2 years agoSan Diego Padres catcher Ethan Salas, a 16-year-old who signed the biggest deal ($5.6 million) in the international market as the top prospect, is already looking like a superstar on the back fields at spring training. "He's going to star for the Padres as a teenager and he'll be a 10-year All-Star," one scout predicted. Salas has big power from the left side of the plate, but his defense is what really stands out. "The best amateur catcher I've ever seen, high school or college," the scout called him. He has already caught a Yu Darvish bullpen in camp and has hit very well. The debate in Padres camp is whether Salas will make it to the majors to become the team's full-time catcher when he's 18 or 19. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues need to keep Salas on their radar.
