Oliveras was a 9th round selection in the 2007 draft out of Puerto Rico's baseball acadamy.  The Reds are excited about his bat though it is early to tell just what it will produce at higher levels.  From initial scouting, Oliveras has a line drive producing left-handed swing that could projectibly produce 15-20 HR power as he matures.  Oliveras has average speed and profiles as a solid defensive LF.  The Reds will likely take their time with Alexis, as his plate discipline and power are currently very raw and will take a long time to develop.  Though he is projectible, he is far from a sure fire top prospect.  Keep an discerning eye on his development. 

2009 Projection: Oliveras will likely begin the '09 season at extended spring training with a short season stint at Billings likely.  The plate discipline has to develop in order for Oliveras to progress.  This season should give a better view of just what to expect out of him in the future.
