Luis Aparicio  
Shortstop | Chicago White Sox

Hitting
Aparicio always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Aparicio is an above-average runner, but lacks the first-step explosiveness needed to become a basestealing threat. He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough.

2010 Outlook
In four full big league seasons, Aparicio already has done more than what scouts projected when he came out of college.
