Would be nice to see Pedro Castellanos promoted. He’s a year younger than Wilson (he’s 23), and has always made good contact. His power is showing up with Portland this year. Slugging .497 with 10 doubles and 11 dingers. At 6’3” 245, adding power helps his corner OF profile. He’s played some first base too. 106 games played at first in 2019.
Sox prospects projects him as 1B only but he’s played Left all year. They also mention plate discipline as a weakness. He’s doubled his walk rate this year. Up to 8.7%
He doesn’t have Wilson’s speed but more than makes up for it with his hit tool. And based on the speedsters we have in Duran and Jimenez and Rosario, neither Wilson nor Castellanos we’re gonna see CF. What can he do with the Woo?
