Reports From Instructs: Miguel Sano

Same author as the Buxton article. This one also includes a couple of paragraphs on Zachary Jones.
This writer is top-notch. I actually feel educated after reading. Good get for fangraphs.
I agree, I was very impressed by the quality of these articles.Quote:

How does a scout differentiate?
