Roman Hernandez, KC
2/7/2012: Roman Hernandez has signed with the Royals, and will be sending a half-million dollar signing bonus back to his family in Cuba, one way or the other. Hernandez projects as a bench player with some power right now, and looks best in a corner outfield slot. At only 23, he still has room to grow, too.

Update: SEA: 2/6/2012
Seattle took a flier on the sometimes dominant lefty reliever Hong-Chih Kuo today, signing him to an incentive-laden 1-year deal. Kuo, one of baseball's best lefthanders the last decade or so, struggled with both physical and emotional turmoil in his last year as a Dodger.
About ScoutingBook.com
ScoutingBook.com is the backyard toolshed of a handful of swell fellas (and one sassy lady) who live, work or breathe baseball, information processing, online gaming, economic theory, infographicology, or some combination of those things.
We made it to combine our overlapping work for our own benefit and amusement. If it's useful to you, too, that's a bonus.

NEWGuilt Trip Feature!
It wears on you, doesn't it? Knowing that there are half a dozen unpaid and underfed volunteers working inside our sweatshop to produce the helpful numbers and snarky commentary that you, needy reader, are enjoying for free. If you feel guilty enough, send us some support.
(We're just regular unpaid people, not some big fancy corporation. We promise to waste any money we receive on beer, pizza and baseball-related toys.)
