Scouting Report for Burlington Bees

I just wrote up a scouting report for the Burlington Bees, which you can find at MinorLeagueBall, part of the SB Nation network.

Reports on Melville, Hosmer, Taylor, Runion, and several other Burlington Bees are present.

Here's one snippet:

Eric Hosmer, 1B: 1st round pick in 2008 out of high school in Florida. Hitting .256/.355/.384. As I mentioned before, his swing looked pretty bad in the first game I saw, slow and mechanical, but in the second and third games it looked quicker, and he pulled a 92 MPH Wily Peralta fastball for a home run. His strike zone judgment is excellent; he just lets bad pitches go by and is difficult to fool. Although he is a slow runner, he is alert and intelligently aggressive and will take an extra base if offered. He looks like a very strong defensive first baseman to me. Overall, I'd say that Hosmer needs work making his swing more consistent to tap into his strength more effectively, but that there is a good chance he'll be able to do this. He just needs more experience.
