2008

An unheralded signing out of Venezuela back in 2003, Cervelli started 2007 hot, but cooled rapidly after May. He has doubles power, some sense of the strike zone, and is apparently fearless as he's been hit by 24 pitches in 155 career games. Solid on defense, Cervelli will be a starter rather than a career backup if he can develop a little more home run power.
