Scout’s take on Pena, Nunez

Ken Rosenthal spoke to a scout recently about two players who have gotten a lot of exposure this spring thanks to the WBC, Eduardo Nunez and Ramiro Pena. “They’re two of the better young kids I’ve seen … two legitimate core players for the future,” the scout said. “They’re not that far from being major-league ready — they have some tools and they know how to play.” While no one questions their defense, there are concerns about their offense, however the scout added “Their offense will not keep them from playing — they have at least survivor skills with the bat.” Survivor skills with the bat? Who does that remind you of? (h/t Steve H)
