Juan Senreiso

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Texas Rangers #14 prospect in 2005
  Senreiso has had the best package of tools in the system since coming to the United States in 2001. He's another Dominican whose name (formerly known as Julin Charles) and age (thought to be 10 months younger) changed when he was forced to use his real identity. A career .238 hitter entering 2004, he made immense strides and finished the season in Double-A. Blessed with strong, quick hands that give him excellent bat speed, Senreiso benefited as much as any Rangers farmhand from the organization's emphasis on plate discipline. He still doesn't draw tons of walks, but he improved, made more consistent contact and started to unlock his power. He has good speed, though he needs to be a more efficient baserunner. While he has center-field tools, his routes and instincts aren't good enough for the position. He profiles better in right field, where his above-average arm would play well. Senreiso remains raw, as evidenced by his .181 average and 24 strikeouts in 83 at-bats in the Arizona Fall League, so the Rangers left him off their 40-man roster. No one took him in the Rule 5 draft, so he'll return to Double-A and see if he can build on his momentum.
