A name that I keep hearing a lot this offseason is San Diego Padres prospect Esteban Quiroz.
Earlier this offseason Jon Morosi mentioned how great Quiroz looked in the Premier 12 with Mexico Baseball and thought he was MLB ready.
#Padres infielder Esteban Quiroz has impressed scouts at the @Premier12 while playing for @MexicoBeis. San Diego’s 40-man roster is crowded, but Quiroz can play in @MLB right now. Reminds me of Kole Calhoun at the plate. @MLBNetwork

And then just recently, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune published an article about Quiroz possibly forcing the hand of the Padres with how well he’s played this offseason.
