With a cannon for an arm and the momentum of a breakout season in 2009, Moises Sierra is poised to make great strides in 2010. After a few years toiling around the Single-A circuit for the Blue Jays, Sierra finally broke through with Hi-A Dunedin last year. After averaging .241 at the plate in his prior 3 seasons, he batted .285 in 110 games, with 6 homers and 62 RBI. He got bumped up to AA New Hampshire for the final 8 games of the season, where he remained hot, pulling a .353 batting average in that span. The 21 year-old Dominican now enters his 5th season in the Blue Jays organization with a chance to prove his worth. He is currently listed as the 11th best prospect in the Jays’ system according to Baseball America. He has one of the best outfield arms in all of minor league baseball (rating 70 on the 20-80 scouting scale) and has been compared to the likes of Raul Mondesi and George Bell in that regard. He is highly capable of hitting for average as his 2009 numbers show and his power numbers should continue to increase as he develops up through the system and becomes more patient at the plate. He is set to pick up where he left off with AA New Hampshire and is expected to be an everyday player with the Fisher Cats.
SPS UPDATE – Last week’s SPS, Jose Iglesias has been optioned to AA Portland. No update on Loek yet, but I assure you that I am scouring the world to find some sort of update for you.
