2012 Arizona Fall League Observations.
My impression is that the talent level in the league is down this year. Perhaps this is just in comparison to a stellar 2011 group (which featured Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, and Gerrit Cole among others), but for the most part I felt that the quality of prospect was a notch lower than I've seen in the past, especially on the mound. That said, there were many players of interest.
Everyone I talked to loved Tigers prospect Nick Castellanos, so I guess I'm in the minority. I like him, but I don't love him. I don't think Castellanos' bat is as polished as most people say. He might turn into Josh Vitters if the Tigers rush him too quickly.
