redsoxprospects.com Scouting Report: Spectacularly athletic centerfielder likely would have been a supplemental first round pick in the 2007 draft had he been eligible. Ichiro-like speed with a cannon arm. Makes good contact - quick, strong wrists. Decent gap power, hits well to all fields. He's struggled with off-speed pitches early on. Exceptional glove and range in CF, and his arm is both very strong and accurate. One teammate commented positively on Lin's range, stating that it looks like Lin is "gliding on roller skates" in the outfield. The Red Sox outbid several teams for Lin's services. Also, at least one team significantly outbid Boston, but Lin preferred to play for the Red Sox organization.
MLB Comparison: BJ Upton
didnt see any thread on him, so i thought id start one. Anyone see the Futures game today, he got MVP as he hit a 2 run HR in the INTL 3-0 win over USA. Kids only 19 and has a lot of potential. Sounds like the real deal.
