Preseason All-American OF Borbon is the elite college CF prospect entering the 2007 season. Unfortunately for him, his season start will be delayed by 8-10 weeks after he broke his left ankle during practice earlier in January. When healthy, Borbon has drawn comparisons to Johnny Damon and Kenny Lofton for his speed, defense and hitting ability. He’s been working on improving his arm strength. He was a member of the US National team that won the gold medal at the FISU World Championship Tournament in Havana, Cuba. He batted 345/437/526 leading the team in hits, triples, and stolen bases. Expect Borbon to back some time in April. This injury could potentially slide him down draft boards from a near certain top 10 pick to perhaps top 20-25.
