Organization Prospect Rankings
Pena has made a dramatic move into prospect status, ranking among the batting leaders in the Carolina and Southern leagues over the last two years. He also led the Southern League with 48 stolen bases, giving him 231 in his pro career. Pena is adept at either second base or shortstop, though his arm is probably best suited for second base. He has soft hands and quick feet. A close friend of Rockies shortstop Neifi Perez, Pena isn't a power guy and understands his job is to get on base, which he does with regularity. He could be forced into a utility role in 2001 but most likely will get to play every day at shortstop in Triple-A.
