As you might have noticed, I’ve been mostly absent from the site for the past couple weeks. The reason for that is I was recently in Arizona for two weeks: the first week was Mariners-focused, conducting interviews with prospects and scouting out the Mariners playing in the Fall League, and the second week was mostly spent at a scouting school for women, learning about the art of scouting baseball. The fruits of these labors will start to emerge over the coming weeks—site editor John Trupin was also in attendance for the first week, so he’ll have some stuff for you too—but one thing I wanted to do early was a general overview of the AL West prospects we saw at the Fall League.
