John Hickey, of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, reports Seattle Mariners OF Wladimir Balentien could be added to the roster of the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic next year.
Balentien's Minor League resume shows he's capable of much more than his uneven rookie campaign. And with Raul Ibanez likely headed elsewhere, he'll have an opportunity to grow into right field, providing decent pop and a subpar average.
As an all-or-nothing hitter, Balentien has good run-producing skills but doesn't make enough contact to provide value outside of deep AL-only play. Look no further than his .203 average this season.
Although he has great power potential (he averaged 22 homers the past four seasons in the Minors), Balentien has yet to find his bat in the bigs. He is batting just .215 with three homers in 24 games since getting recalled, so you might want to look elsewhere for home run potential.
The Associated Press reports Seattle Mariners OF Wladimir Balentien broke an 0-for-18 slump with two hits Monday, Sept. 1.
