SS Elmer Grace (#81 Overall)
Acquired: Via Draft: 4th Round, 52nd Overall (1948)
AAA: .289/.375/.476 (135 OPS+), 579 PA, 25 2B, 5 3B, 20 HR, 69 RBI
CWL: .294/.457/.587 (152 OPS+), 164 PA, 5 2B, 3B, 10 HR, 23 RBI

The first member of the Cienfuegos roster to reach double digits for homers, Elmer Grace took the Saints' Ted Coffin deep in the Crocs 10-7 win over the Bucs, finishing the game 2-for-3 with a triple, two walks, and two runs scored. He was hitless the next two games, and the game before, but he's hit an impressive .294/.457/.587 (152 OPS+) in 35 games so far. His 161 WRC+ is aided by an excellent 23.2 BB%, as he's drawn 38 walks to just 15 strikeouts. This has helped him accumulate a full two wins above replacement, as Grace is the perfect combination of a great hitter and great defender. His 4.7 zone rating and 1.068 efficiency aren't too far from the 18.6 and 1.083 in AAA, and he's three homers away from his CWL leading 13 from last year. He's got two weeks to hit those three homers, which will be tough, but if Cienfuegos wants to make up their two game lead, a few more graceful homers could do the trick!
