Minor League Top Prospects
Signed for $750,000 out of the Dominican Republic in 2007, Galvez has turned in two solid pro seasons at the plate but his future is difficult to project. His approach improved in 2009, as he focused on getting better pitches to hit. He has a clean stroke and good plate coverage, and he has promising power potential. He has average speed, though he's a tick below average getting out of the box. The biggest question about Galvez relates to his defense. His arm is too weak for him to stay at shortstop and makes playing the outfield a stretch, which will confine him to second base or a utility role in the future. He has good hands but needs to work harder on his defense and on bringing consistent effort to the game.
