Dear Mr. Jennings,

Here is the scouting report you requested on Pat O'Farrell of Boston. I had the chance to observe him on several occasions while the Red Sox were training at Little Rock. Following is my evaluation of O'Farrell's performance and talent:

Pat O'Farrell would be one of the better players on most teams. He can do a lot at the plate, and will definitely contribute. Pat has above-average hand-eye coordination. He makes frequent contact. Although he is more of a contact hitter, he has some pop. He really works opposing pitchers deep into the count, and will be a league leader in walks drawn. Pat does a decent job of protecting the plate, and will make contact when you need him to. He is one of the best baserunners in the league, a guy most managers will let steal at will. Pat is a spectacular second baseman. He has incredible range and soft hands. He makes the easy plays, the hard plays, and everything in between.

I rate his skills as follows:

Contact Hitting: 6
Power Hitting: 3
Eye and Discipline: 8

His baserunning, base stealing, and ability to bunt for a hit or in a sacrifice situation, I grade as A. Defensively, I would also rate his range as Grade A at second base. He took some ground balls at shortstop as well, and I would grade him as B at that position.

On the five-star scale we use, I would give O'Farrell 4.5 stars.

Sincerely,

James Greene
Scout
