Scouting Report
- Negron's arm makes him better suited for second base than shortstop, and his bat should play at either spot. Negron has a line-drive approach, makes consistent contact and is an above-average runner with good instincts who was 31-for-34 stealing bases this spring. ~ Baseball America
- Talented lead-off hitter who has demonstrated excellence in wooden bat leagues. Good hitting eye and quick on the basepaths. Especially fast down the line to first. Sometimes hacks at pitches out of the zone. ~ SoxProspects.com
