2007

Not your average tools guy, Venable`s an Ivy Leaguer with skills (assuming Princeton`s cranking out better products than Woodrow Wilson these days). Developmentally, Venable`s still a bit on the raw side for a guy who`s already 24, but he focused on hoops in college and has already made fast progress. In Fort Wayne, he had the pleasure of having his dad (Max, the former big league outfielder) as his hitting coach, but, from here on out, he won`t get to hang around one level; the Pads want to see him move up fast. He might get caught as a tweener, because he probably doesn`t have the instincts or arm to stick in center, but if he makes the jump to Double-A this summer and keeps hitting, he`ll get onto big-league radars.
