Lets get to the notes first. Juan Francisco was named minor league baseballs 13th best third baseman prospect by ProjectProspect.com. I can get behind the ranking, but I am not so sure about a few guys ahead of him.
The Arizona Fall League will have its ‘Rising Stars’ game on Saturday at 8:15pm on MLB Network. The Reds have four players on the team, the most of any organization. Zack Cozart, Yonder Alonso, Mike Leake and Chris Heisey all will be participating in the game.
Now onto the YouScout.
I did this a few times during the season and wanted to save it for the offseason. The idea came from the guys over at ProjectProspect.com, who also do the series but for guys all over the minor leagues. I have three videos of him below from different angles. Watch them and lets talk about what we see.
