Blue Jays' Richard Urena: Shows growth in fourth season

Urena, who split time between High-A Dunedin (97 games) and Double-A New Hampshire (30 games) this season, combined to hit .295/.335/.434 with eight home runs, 59 RBI and 66 runs.

The Jays' No. 2 prospect dominated the Florida State League at Dunedin, allowing him to make the jump straight to Double-A. Urena's .266/.282/.395 slash line in New Hampshire was a far cry from the .305/.351/.447 he posted at the lower lever. The 20-year-old hit eight homers and stole nine bases in High-A, but laid a goose egg in both of those departments upon his promotion. Urena is a good defender and figures to stick at shortstop, but he'll need to improve his plate discipline as he advances through the ranks.
