Free minor league scouting websites...

[The Logan]

OIbviously BA is the mac daddy of minor league scouting, but are there any solid scouting websites out there that don't cost money to view? Only one I really know about is Scoutingbook.com but I don't really trust their listings that much. Is it any good? I also noticed Baseball Cube started giving basic 1-100 scale ratings of players. Is that based on just their numbers or is it statistical analysis? Basically I'd like to know which ones are the most trustworthy, accurate, and honest.

 

Just wondering since I'm contemplating on turning one of my regular fantasy leagues into a dynasty league and none of the guys in it know about the minors so I was looking for some sites to help them determine good quality minor leaguers should we so choose to go the dynasty route. They need some convincing that they can be decent enough at it to give a crap about the minors, having some free resources out there would help

 

Thanks

I'm pretty sure Baseball Cube's ratings are 100% based on statistics.

 

Baseball Intellect, Driveline Mechanics, and SaberScouting(although it hasn't been updated in forever) are all sites I've enjoyed reading, and free sites like Hardball Times, Rotoworld, and even BA will have free content on prospects from time to time.

Awesome, thanks!

 

EDIT: I'm digging Baseball Intellect a lot

Bob Sacramento does some great scouting reports on Cubs prospects.
