Subject: J Constanza?

I'm watching the replay of the Indians/Cubs game tonight, and there was a fast player named Constanza in CF for the Tribe. Never heard of the guy, but he was very fast (the announcers said he stole 49 bases in the minors last year).

But I can't find the guy at all--Rotowire, RotoTimes, Yahoo are all silent. Anyone know anything about this guy?

"Jose Constanza led the Indians minor league system in stolen bases with 49. And while he was not as efficient as Michael Brantley, his 49:14 ratio is not bad. He also showed an excellent BB:K ratio (1.15) built on the back of an excellent BB-rate (13.0%) and an excellent K-rate (11.3%). What Constanza has against him is back to back disappointing seasons in 2007 and 2008 making him decidedly old (26 now), especially for a guy who has yet to log an at-bat above AA."
