Marco Scutaro is not the type of player opposing teams fear. Listed at 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds, the 31-year-old middle infielder will never be mistaken for a game-changing slugger. But much like World Series hero David Eckstein, what Scutaro lacks in brawn, he makes up for in a variety of other ways.

This week, Scutaro displayed the peskiness and timely hitting that earned him the nickname "Señor Clutch" in the Venezuelan Winter League. He went 8-for-22 with three walks, a stolen base, six runs scored and an RBI, and he is now hitting an even .400 in 30 at-bats. In fact, the native Venezuelan has a hit in all seven games he's played for the Leones del Caracas.

Along with Scutaro, several other Oakland A's prospects are playing in the various fall and winter leagues this offseason. Here's how they performed from Nov. 9-15.
