    Outfielder Juan Silva has tools, but has struggled to put them all together. Listed at 6 feet and 185 pounds, Silva is naturally athletic, runs well and has a good arm. While he has raw power, he can get pull-happy at times and often bails out on pitches, resulting in a lot of strikeouts. He currently plays center field, but will move to a corner eventually.
