"Despite having not being ranked among the top 30 prospects in the Tigers' farm system during the past few years, Mendoza has always been an interesting prospect with high upside due to his ability to play multiple positions in the field. The 25-year-old utilityman has seen action at second base, third base, and all three outfield positions to date in his six-year professional baseball career, all with the Detroit organization."
"Last season, Mendoza split his time between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo in which he compiled a solid .287 average, .803 OPS, along with 64 runs scored, 16 doubles, two triples, seven home runs, 41 RBIs and 12 stolen bases in 97 games played. He may not possess a lot of power, but he can practically do everything else, whether it be flat-out solid contact hitting, speed on the basepaths, or strong defense in the field."
