Top Prospect Eloy Jimenez Hits Go-Ahead Grand Slam Saturday
7 years agoChicago White Sox top outfield prospect Eloy Jimenez hit a go-ahead grand slam home run in the 9th inning for the AA Birmingham Barons on Saturday. Jimenez, 21, has now hit nine home runs in 34 AA games this season. He's probably the best power-hitting bat in the minor leagues at this point. Look for the White Sox to push Jimenez up to AAA before the All-star break. He also will likely make his MLB debut this season, especially given the injuries and general lack of outfield depth for the White Sox at the MLB level. Once he makes the MLB, he should be owned right away, as his raw power and game power will definitely translate.
