Game Report: Corban Joseph, 2B, New York Yankees
A former 4th round pick in the 2008 draft, Corban Joseph has received Chase Utley comparisons as an offense-minded second baseman. In 2009, Joseph rebounded from a slow start to post a .300/.381/.418 line showing the ability to both take a walk and limit strikeouts at an early age. Why not use Scouting the Sally [...]
Scouting the “Sally” Relievers
Yeliar Castro, Atlanta Braves: While Castro offers little in terms of projection, he can already dial the fastball up to 94 MPH. The pitch lacks movement and his command is borderline, but the velocity is hard to find at this level. Castro also flashed a 78 MPH curveball with big break 12-6 break. However, he [...]

Scouting Report: Mike Stanton, OF, Florida Marlins
As the 2009 “Sally” season came to a close, baseball was still being played in Jacksonville as the AA Marlins affiliate made the Southern League playoffs. After seeing Mike Stanton not put a ball in play (3 walks, 1 strikeout) a month earlier, I felt compelled to take a second look. While I can not [...]

Scouting Report: Michael Almanzar, 1B/3B, Boston Red Sox
The most expensive signing of the 2007 international free agent class, Michael Almanzar began the 2009 season in Greenville after moderate success during his stateside debut. In just over 400 at bats, Almanzar posted a disappointing .220/.276/.298 line across two minor league levels (demoted mid-season) exhibiting poor plate discipline and power numbers. At 19, Almanzar [...]
