4 years agoSan Diego Padres outfield prospect Edward Olivares has carried his impressive spring training into the start of summer camp. The Friars' No. 20 prospect took a leap at Double-A in 2019, registering a 123 wRC+, 18 dingers and 35 steals. A long shot to crack the roster, Olivares will attempt to carve out a role with his power-speed combination and plus defense. The 24-year-old will be pitted against unproven outfielders Franchy Cordero, Josh Naylor and prospect Taylor Trammell for playing time. With an unorthodox season ahead, Olivares could earn a big-league chance if he shines in camp or his competitors falter. He’s not a fantasy option as a part-time player, but his rising stock puts a dent in the viability of Cordero or Naylor.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
