2008 Premier Player Selected By R Wednesday, October 22nd , 2008 At the age of 18, Raul Saldana of the Washington (R) Warriors could very well have his best years ahead of him. It's a startling thought when you consider the year he had in 2008 was good enough to win the right fielder the PBC Rookie Complex League Most Valuable Player Award. "See the ball, hit the ball," he said. "That's my basic approach." The top hitter put up a .439 batting average this year, as well as a .530 on-base percentage. He played 79 games and racked up 130 hits, 39 doubles, 2 triples, 14 home runs, 59 RBIs and 53 runs scored. He received 11 first place votes out of a possible 16. Kris Honore of the Dallas (R) Texans finished second in voting with 5 first place votes, while Michael Viktora of the Salt Lake City (R) Coyotes finished third.
