Zeringue

Zeringue was a major disappointment for the Diamondbacks after a spectacular pro debut in 2004, but he’s hit well since joining the A’s system a year ago and he’s currently at .327/.416/.633 in 98 at-bats for Midland. He is 25 and still strikes out a ton, so he is a long shot to become a useful major leaguer. However, he could have a nice career as a Triple-A slugger if he wants.

Zeringue appeared to be the Diamondbacks’ next big-time outfield prospect after a terrific pro debut in 2004, but he failed to impress either of the following two years. If he ever learns to lay off bad pitches, his power would make him interesting once again. Still, it’s doubtful that he has a future in Arizona.
