Game day: Starting CF Rey Fuentes no stranger to pressure

Keep coming back for the latest on the Diamondbacks and Mets game Monday night at Chase Field.

Fuentes' path: Bonus baby, journeyman, starter

Pressure can get the best of anybody and it got the best of Reymond Fuentes after the Red Sox made him a first-round pick in 2009, giving him a $1,134,000 signing bonus as a young outfield prospect out of Puerto Rico.

Despite possessing all the tools, the talent never fully translated at the major-league level. The Red Sox traded him to the Padres as part of the Adrian Gonzalez-for-Anthony Rizzo deal.
