The Internet has changed how every prospect is covered. There is usually someone, somewhere, with a camera or phone taking pictures or shooting video. It is very hard to go unnoticed, even in spring training, extended spring training, and fall instructs. I follow handfuls of people on Twitter just because they are covering that scene year-round in Mesa. From blog writers, baseball magazine evaluators, and even amateur photographers, I am always finding someone new with a different angle on what’s happening.
This spring, the buzz in minor league camp was that Aramis Ademan and Miguel Amaya might be advanced enough with the bat to skip rookie ball in Mesa and go straight from the Dominican Summer League to short-season Eugene.
