Sat May 16 201511:08Andreoli hit first home run of year for Triple-A Iowa on Friday
Andreoli hit his first home run of the year for Triple-A Iowa on Friday.
Andreoli has drive in just six runs in 92 at-bats for Iowa this year, but his strength lies in his speed. He already has 15 stolen bases in 2015 and he's stolen 138 since 2012. That said, he's probably just a fifth outfielder at best if he ever makes the majors.
