The Cubs recalled their top SS prospect from AAA Iowa yesterday. He put up numbers that are worthy of taking a chance on him - 7 HR, 10 SB, .371 AVG, .552 SLG.
This appears to be his breakout minor league season as he surpassed his previous minors-high HR of 6 and is hitting almost 100 points higher than he did in 2004 (.279). Heck, he hit 68 points higher in 2004 than he did in 2003 (.211).
What makes these improvements relevant is Cedeno is only 22 years-old. He has progressed as he got older and is still young for a AAA player much less a major league one.
I would not expect Dusty to play him barring an injury to Neifi Perez, but Ronny has been mentioned in trade rumors for Preston Wilson. A trade there would obviously make him an instant contributor to any NL squad.
Grab him if you can. The upside is too high, and if he can be had for a single-digit bid, all the better.
