Pedro Cotto was a jack of all trades for the 2006 Midwest League champion Whitecaps. Seeing time at a number of infield and outfield positions, he finished the season with a .278 batting average, with 34 RBI, and 19 doubles. Cotto split time between Lakeland and Erie in 2007, combining for an average of .249, with 18 RBI, 8 doubles, and 2 triples. He was also the subject of a 2006 Grand Rapids Press article.
