The Charlotte Sting's top prospect, 21-year old centerfielder Jose Gutierrez, was named the Player of the Year in Single A for his exploits as a member of the Ft. Wayne Pelicans. In a rather unconventional move, Gutierrez spent most of 3 seasons at Ft. Wayne before being called up to big league club in late August this season.
And his performance in 30 games with Charlotte (131 plate appearances, .299/.374/.556) would indicate that he is ready to stick in the WPK and has the potential to be a superstar in the making.
