Shortstop: Jaspero Gonzalez

After his breakout season, the Palms are excited about the prospect of Jaspero Gonzalez playing shortstop every day for the Palms this season. If his first season in the league was a sign of things to come, scouts had the young Venezuelan pegged all wrong. He was originally thought of as a fielding prospect who had an unreliable bat but good speed. Well, he led all players in slugging percentage last year, including a surprising 6 homers and 10 doubles. His numbers will likely go down with more exposure in the lineup, but if he comes close to matching his numbers over the course of the season, he will be a force to be reckoned with.
