Organization Prospect Rankings
Abner Abreu wasn't the only promising prospect to make his pro debut on the Indians' 2007 Dominican Summer League club. Cid, a fellow Dominican, showed the ability to hit for average and get on base, and continued to demonstrate those skills when he came Stateside in 2008. A lanky, wiry athlete, Cid is the fastest runner in the organization. He has the plus-plus speed to be a quality basestealer and center fielder, but he's still raw in those phases of the game. Though he slugged just .323 last season, he has good bat speed and some projectable power. Cid is an aggressive player in all aspects of the game, though he does show some discipline at the plate. He crashed into a wall in August, injuring the Lisfranc joint in his right foot and requiring surgery. He should be healthy for spring training, but he's still years away from being big league ready.
