CHARLESTON, WV - If you catch the West Virginia Power, you are all but guaranteed to see two names on the lineup card: Carlos Munoz and Daniel Arribas. The two have appeared in 83 and 86 of the Power's 93 games, respectively. The duo splits time at first base and designated hitter, and, through their five years together in the Pirates organization, they have developed into complementary players. What one lacks, the other has.
Unfortunately, as a formula for prospect development, that yin-yang relationship does not work particularly well. To become viable prospects in the system, Arribas and Munoz are working together to flesh out their talents and become better all-around ballplayers.
