Fantasy Analysis
The biggest thing when scouts talk about Salcedo is that he is raw. They believe this kid has a lot of potential, but he is not done growing and that is why he has played more at third base than shortstop this season. The scouts also believe he could have above-average power and speed, but he is still developing. Salcedo is at least a few years away from popping up on the Fantasy radar, so he remains nothing more than a long-term keeper. (Updated 06/13/2011).
