Comments
(IMPORTANT - please refer to the notes below the statistics table)

The Pirates signed Roneberg as a free agent for 2006, to help fill the void created by their lack of OF prospects

He'll be joining the organization for the second time

He's moved up slowly from level to level, generally taking a couple of years to get acclimated at each
He seems to have settled in at the AA level as a corner OF with moderate power and good plate discipline

He had a decent year for Altoona in 2003, before having his best season in the Red Sox' system the following year

He also played for Australia in the 2004 Olympics, winning a Silver Medal

He missed 2005 due to shoulder surgery

Roneberg also plays 1B, another position at which the system is chronically short on talent

If he's healthy, he'll play one or the other for Altoona in 2006

Introduction

Although I'm not a scout, I have no shortage of opinions, as you'll soon see if you haven't already!!
I certainly believe a lot can be told from minor league stats
A lot of observation is needed, too, of course
I try to dig up information where I can, mostly on the web, and I add my own observations, especially where I've seen a player a lot and feel reasonably confident about the impressions I've formed
I'm perfectly happy to add the observations or opinions of others, including dissenting opinions, as long as the tone is reasonable
A 'comments section' is beyond my technical know-how, but if you send me an e-mail, I'll add your views to the relevant entry
