Balentien never caught on state-side, registering a .221/.281/.374 career batting line and 149 strikeouts over 511 major league at-bats. If he plays well enough in Japan, he may be able to find a spot on a big league roster for 2012. It's not yet known which Japanese club he signed with.
The Heros once recieved Balentien and Luke Hochevar in exchnage for Ichiro. Both where top 50 prospects at the time, what a terrible trade.
