Cincinnati Reds top prospect Noelvi Marte appears to have been promoted to the big leagues.
Noelvi Marte, the main piece involved in the Luis Castillo trade with the Seattle Mariners a summer ago, has been excelling in the minor leagues this year. Between Double-A and Triple-A he has a .279/.359/.456 slash line. Overall he has 11 home runs, 45 runs batted in, and 18 stolen bases.
If he is indeed being promoted to the big leagues, Marte will be one of several young prospects to debut this season. The timing is interesting for the Reds are currently in the hunt for a postseason berth. As of Saturday, August 19 Cincinnati is second in the NL Central division (two games back) and a spot out from the Wild Card (half game back).
