Scouting Report:
Well-built third baseman had solid but unspectacular minor league
production before coming out of nowhere to earn third place in American
League Rookie of the Year voting in 2010. Below-average fielder. The Red
Sox hope that a change of organizations will help to rejuvenate Valencia's
career. Projects as reliable organizational depth.
