That's funny, Carlos Peguero actually looked very good in LF at the Futures Game. Solid routes, runs well, good arm and showed alertness on the play where he threw behind Dom Brown. He routinely looked to check runners on throws in before wheeling to throw to the correct infielder. I'd say he's actually a fairly heady defender, and, while still not a complete player at the plate, one of the more interesting guys on a weaker-than-usual World team. His still-high strikeout total is a testament to his inability to cover the outer half of the plate or deal with advanced breaking stuff, but he's nearly matched last year's walk total in 179 fewer plate appearances and looks to be consolidating those gains.
He may simply be Wlad Balentein redux, but if anything, his defense is definitely a mark in his favor.
