I was one of those who really hoped that Javier Rivas would turn the corner this year, but just another bad year. He is in his age 22 season and is completing his second year at Lo A, where he has had more than 500 PA's. He's huge and can hit prodigious BP HR's, but he strikes out as much or more than anyone in the system! His K/BB this year was 105/14. He is an excellent fielding SS, but it would be hard to think he could do better at the plate in Hi A.
