Scherer is really baffling. I've got to believe the guy just can't concentrate very well because he's obviously got the stuff. If Nelson can continue that power surge he could be come Hoffpauir II ! Good to see Robinson's OBP up there. He'll need to continue that to get noticed among all our outfielders. Grossman hit well last year but he was extremely old for his leagues. I'm curious to see him at AA this upcoming year. Anyone know anything about his defense? You left off that Garcia is near the league leaders with 13 steals (4 cs). If I didn't know they tested for it, I'd be suspicious of Bolivar and Ruiz for PED's. The increases in their power have been tremendous this winter. Edward Sanchez has been on my radar and I was really hoping they'd try him as a starter in the winter league. Can a guy who starts as a reliever at age 17 make it to the bigs going through his whole minor leaague career as a reliever? College guys do it occasionally but it almost never happens for a HS or Latin FA. Thanks for the update!
