The prestigious and specialized magazineBaseball America He made his usual classification of the best minor league players by tools and four Cubans were chosen in the group. They were:
-Rogelio Armenteros (Fresno Grizzlies, AAA) (Houston Astros): Pitcher with the best changeup.
- Rangel Ravelo (Memphis Redbirds; AAA) (St. Louis Cardinals): Best defensive first baseman.
-José Adolis García (Memphis Redbirds, AAA) (St. Louis Cardinals): Best arm in the outfield.
-Luis Avilés (Carolina Mudcats, Class-A advanced) (Milwaukee Brewers): Best defensive shortstop.
In the case of Armenteros, he is a pitcher with extensive resources, who has developed the changeup effectively against left and right-handed players. This can ensure the right-hander future success when he is promoted to the Majors.
Rangel Ravelo batted over .300 for the second straight season, but is still waiting to get his opportunity in the MLB. In any case, he has already done his job on both sides of the field and has proven to be a remarkable fielder.
José Adolis García was chosen as the best arm among the outfielders in the minors and Luis Áviles the best shortstop at the advanced Class-A level.
