Kennys Vargas
Age: 23 • Pos: 1B
Ht: 6-5 • Wt: 275
Hometown: Canovanas, Puerto Rico
Acquired: Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2009
Scouting report: Switch hitter who hits to all fields from the right side with better plate discipline, but shows tremendous power from left side. His defense is improving, but he projects as a career designated hitter, albeit a potential 30-homer one.
Age: 24 • Pos: RHP
Ht: 6-9 • Wt: 220
Hometown: Greensburg, Ind.
Acquired: Trade with Nationals for CF Denard Span in December 2012
Scouting report: Regularly hits 96-98 with sharp movement on his fastball, and owns an unhittable 90-mph slider. Height can affect mechanics, but it also makes him intimidating.
Age: 20 • Pos: RHP
Ht: 6-0 • Wt: 185
Hometown: Bayamon, Puerto Rico
Acquired: Drafted in first round (32nd overall) in 2012
Scouting report: Can throw 94-96 mph fastball, with well-developed curveball and above-average mound presence. Scouts worry his slight build will limit durability.
