Interview with MLB Scout Frankie Piliere
I was lucky enough to get the chance to speak with MLB, minor league and amateur scout, Frank Piliere of Saber-Scouting in an interview covering a number of topics including some of the minor league’s top talents, especially, in Tampa Bay, some of the Major League’s top, young talents and the scout’s 20-80 scale. For contractual reasons, Mr. Piliere could not divulge which team he works for, but he specializes in scouting the New York Yankees’ and Washington Nationals’ farm teams. I’d like to thank Mr. Piliere for taking time out to talk with Baseball Mastermind.
The rest...

Really interesting
He really thinks Montero will break out like that?

Montero
Yeah, since the guy covers the Yankees farm system in particular he really gets to see him play and he thinks the power is very viable (as the interview clearly states).
I'm looking for a few knowledgeable fans who'd like to join me on Baseball Mastermind, whether you're a scout, a sabermetrician, a journalist or just a die-hard fan. Sign up for an account on BM today.

Great Read
Thanks for posting this. It is great to read what a real scout thinks as opposed to what most of us believe. I agree that Montero has all the tools to be a beast and should benefit from the lack of catching depth in the Yankees system.
