Frankie Piliere scouting for fans now
I typically just read and RARELY throw in any thoughts...Just haven't seen this on the site and wanted to throw it out there.
Former Ranger's Pro Scout Frankie Piliere is now "scouting for the fans." He's set up at fanhouse.com as well as twitter and plans to do everything he did for pro teams, but instead of report to them...he wants to report to the fans. He did a great Q/A session with fans the other day that's still up on his site(under subtitle-Free Agency Nears) . Gave a ton of love for Ranger prospects. (first one is here because of the debate on whether or not to sign Vlad. but the final two answers are my favorite!!!) Check out his stuff..follow him on twitter (he's the only reason I check twitter).

[Comment From Rick WeisbergRick Weisberg: ] Does it make sense for the Angels to retain Guerrero at his age and with his injuries?
4:04
Frankie Piliere: If they can get him for just one year then yes, absolutely. I really think he's got a lot left in the tank offensively

[Comment From TylerTyler: ] matt harrison showed signes of greatness in a few starts? can he be a sub 4.00 SP within 2 years?
5:00
Frankie Piliere: Yes he can. He can be a very solid guy, just a little inconsistent right now
[Comment From GuestGuest: ] Is Derek Holland a top of the rotation guy? if so how soon?
4:58
Frankie Piliere: I think he has that type of stuff, but i think he'll be learning on the job for a couple years

[Comment From ReillyReilly: ] How fast will Perez move in the Texas system?
4:47
Frankie Piliere: As fast as they are willing to allow. I think his talent could move him very quick!
[Comment From ReillyReilly: ] What is the Martin Perez scouting report?
4:43
Frankie Piliere: He's very, very, very good. Ok, I can do better than that. Sits around 93-95 and can spot his secondary pitches. Sharp breaking ball. Best thing about him, though, is his demeanor. He's got a quiet presence that's hard to teach. He attacks hitters with no fear

Glanced through the guy's blog and it seems like it could be pretty good follow. Good stuff, thanks.

I asked him about joining us for a Q & A before, and he said he would oblige.
But when I recently asked, he gave no comment. So I’m uncertain whether he will or not.

Uh, scratch that
he just sent me an email that said he would love to do the Q & A soon. I’ll set up the thread as soon as I know more info.

Yes, he said he would like to do that.
Though the bad thing is, that he doesn’t know much about Rangers prospects (I know), however, he did scout the AFL. So I figured with Gutierrez, Scheppers, Harrison, Moreland, Tea, Lemon and others on our mind, you guys would enjoy it.

Yeah
His job was scouting other teams guys. The only Rangers he saw this year was at the SAL ASG.
