Cincinnati Recalls Prospect Jose Barrero
3 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds recalled infielder Jose Barrero from Triple-A Louisville on Monday after placing outfielder Jesse Winker on the 10-day injured list. Barrero is regarded as one of the top positional prospects in the Cincinnati system, ranking as the No. 82 overall prospects in baseball by MLB Pipeline. Barrero got a taste of big-league action in 2020, back before he changed his name and was known as Jose Garcia. He hit just .194 with 26 strikeouts in 67 at-bats. Barrero has since improved his plate discipline in Triple-A this season, hitting .305 with 11 homers, 28 runs, 34 RBI, and seven steals in 40 games. Barrero might not play every day for the Reds this time around but he needs to be scooped up in all dynasty leagues if he is available.
