Player: Lyle Overbay Position: 1B HT: 6-2 WT: 215 B: L T: L Birthdate: 1/28/77 2001 Minor League Team: El Paso- AA
Comments: Solid hitter for average with gap power. Has good knowledge of strike zone and is an aggressive hitter with a compact swing. Led Texas League with .352 average while hitting 49 doubles, 13 homers and driving in 100 runs. Will produce with the bat. His defensive game is average.
Player: Jose Valverde Position: P HT: 6-4 WT: 220 B: R T: R Birthdate: 7/24/79 2001 Minor League Team: El Paso- AA
Comments: Future big league closer with powerful arm with three quality pitches--fastball, slider and splitter. Splitter is his out pitch, but fastball reaches high 90s and hard slider is very effective.

Can bunt, move runners along and hit the gaps with occasional power. He's a contact hitter with average speed and average defensive skills.
