Wes Hodges was born on September 14th 1984 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He is currently a right handed 3B in the Cleveland Indians. He was drafted by the Indians in the 2nd round of the 2006 draft.
Wes can just flat out hit. He was one of the best pure hitters coming out of college and probably would have been a 1st round pick if a leg injury hadn't slowed him down. He right now doesn't display great power but he does have the potential to hit 20 homeruns.
To me his defense is a mystery. If you look at the stats he makes a TON of errors (28 errors) but having seen him in person I saw him make 2 or 3 really good plays. However he was throwing balls into the dirt during the warmups between innings.
Wes Hodges may be the one thing standing in the way of the Indians wanting to move Jhonny Peralta to 3B seeing as he is on the horizon. He should start this season at AAA Columbus and being the middle of a scarry offensive club.
