June 19, 201412 yr Baseball Prospectus has a bunch of free scouting reports. There are a handful of Twins included.
June 19, 201412 yr Author I found Cederoth and Polanco - who are the others? Thx btw I think Walker, Sano and Berrios. I didn't comb through real closely.
June 20, 201412 yr Thanks for posting, interesting read. The report on Cederoth didn't offer much hope on his chances of starting. Very encouraging report on Berrios, like hearing that his change-up is advanced and that he maintains velocity. Couldn't help but think of that Moneyball scene where they are talking about the appearance of the players girlfriend in a couple of the reports, sometimes these guys think too much.Giolito seems to have fans at BP, both had him max out at 80. At the time of the draft, I was kind of hoping the Twins would draft him but I guess I will have to be satisfied with the guy they selected. Edited June 20, 201412 yr by HansGruber
June 20, 201412 yr I also like how Walker grades out better than Courtney Hawkins, the White Sox best outfielder. Much rather have Walker in our system.
June 20, 201412 yr The one on Sano reminded me of what I've read about Berrios: they take preparation and non-game work very seriously. That is great to hear. Gardy loves the guys that get after it. Sad to think that if Sano wasn't hurt, he would likely be playing 3rd for the Twins now with Plouffe out.
