Strengths:
Raben rivals Eric Hosmer for the most power in the draft. He’s had exceptional power numbers at Miami (FL) including a bananas 43% percentage of hits for extra bases in 2007. His arm is strong enough for right field.
Weaknesses:
Raben strikes out a ton (over 1/5 of his plate appearances last year). His defense is passable in right field for now, but he may have to move left field or first base as a pro.
The Future:
#15-20 overall.
