At age 19, Moreno hit .303 in full-season Class A ball. He came on even stronger last fall in instructional league, where he really started opening some eyes. Defensively, he's a good left fielder with a decent arm. Some see him as being out of the Magglio Ordonez mold. Moreno has good power and is a warrior. With his tools and tremendous makeup, there's no telling how good he could be. The one knock on him is that there isn’t one part of his game that stands out. He's solid in all areas but not exceptional in any. He doesn't have a No. 1 tool. But if he continues to develop at his current pace, he projects as a potential starter at the big league level. The Indians won’t rush him. He’ll start the 2001 season with one of the Tribe’s Class A affiliates.
