Background: A native of Panama, Seguignol was 20 years old in April 1995 when the Yankees traded him to Montreal in exchange for Expos closer and future World Series MVP John Wetteland. After years of searching for consistent power, he found it last season. Strengths: Seguignol is a large, graceful athlete with plus power potential as a switch-hitter. He hits equally well from both sides of the plate and has improved at pitch recognition. Weaknesses: Seguignol has played first base for most of his career, where he has above-average defensive potential. He is still learning the fundamentals for left field. As a power hitter, his four-year average of 133 strikeouts a season comes with the territory. The Future: Seguignol's September call-up to the majors has put him in position to win a job in spring training. He might start the year in Triple-A, but the Expos see him as a future middle-of-the-order slugger.
