    Pacheco has parallels to Adrian Gonzalez, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2000 draft. Both are sweet-swinging, lefthanded-hitting first basemen from a predominantly Mexican population in the suburbs south of San Diego. While Pacheco looks like a third-round pick at best, he has a lot of the same ability and mannerisms. While not in Gonzalez' class as a pure hitter, he has a quiet approach with solid line-drive power--more raw power than Gonzalez in high school. He also is a solid defender and plays the game with the same enthusiasm as Gonzalez. He is very signable.
