Crawdad Chronicles 60.05 - Bin Nasser proves ready for the show

[JimBob2232]

With Juan Donestavez likely moving on, New Orleans will look to Adib Bin Nassar as his potential replacement.

Nassar was signed as an IFA in the 2055 season to a 13.5M deal. IFA isnt an invesment that always pans out, but in the case of Bin Nasser, it appears this one will.

Nasser is the #16 prospect in the BBA, and has preformed at every level. In 2060 he hit .304 with 16 HRs for AAA Havana. That was good enough to earn him a September call-up.

Once he was there - he may never return. In 23 games, the 22 year old Kuwaiti hit .312 with a .375 OBP. The biggest knock on him is his average outfield defense, lack of speed, and frankly his strickeout ratio - which is likely to improve with more time under the lights.

Bin Nasser will likey start the season penciled in as the starting Right Fielder. With a lot of talent leaving this off-season, it will be up to Bin Nasser to help keep the wheels on the perverbial bus in the big easy.
