Kevin Alcantara Stays Hot With RBI Double On Monday
17 seconds agoChicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 10-5 Cactus League win over the Padres. He's now 6-for-11 this spring with a pair of doubles and four RBI. The 22-year-old is putting his best foot forward in his audition to make the Cubs roster out of camp, but there isn't room for him in the outfield right now, so a start at Triple-A is more likely rather than having him get sporadic playing time on the bench. At this point, it is only a matter of time until he's roaming the outfield, though, as he'll surely be called upon if one of the regulars gets injured. The Dominican began at Double-A last season, but earned a promotion to Triple-A where he slashed .292/.378/.469 over 35 games (148 PA), then made a three-game cameo with the Cubs at the end of the year. The 6-foot-6 outfielder is ranked 90th overall per MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list and has the potential to be a 20/20 player if given the proper playing time. Assuming he starts at Triple-A, redraft managers will want to be ready to pounce and grab him off of the waiver wire as soon as he gets the call.
