Nelson Rada Settling in at Triple-A Salt Lake
Los Angeles Angels outfield prospect Nelson Rada was promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on August 2, and since then, he's recorded a hit in each of the three games he's played. The Angels' sixth-ranked prospect is 3-for-12 (.250) with three RBI, three runs scored, a 1:2 BB:K, and three stolen bases. It is much like what he had put on display at Double-A, where he hit .277 with 34 steals over 93 games for Double-A Rocket City. The 5-foot-9 Venezuelan doesn't offer much power, though, as he's tallied just five home runs in 1371 career at-bats in the minors. Nevertheless, at 19 years old, he's the youngest player at Triple-A, which should give you an idea of how talented he is, although the lack of power somewhat diminishes his potential fantasy value. The left-handed hitter could debut in the big leagues next year, and his defense will help get him there.
