Right-hander Seth Rosin is the Friday night starter for Minnesota this spring. He’s lost some weight from when I saw him in the summer and worked to improve his breaking ball. What I saw in the Cape when Rosin was pitching for Hyannis was the makings of a big, durable, innings-eating middle of the order major league starter. Some guys got all the luck, and Rosin being 6-6, well, that means whoever signs him is going to give him every chance to grow into a big league role. For me, Rosin is a throwback kind of guy, a Midwestern ox, a workhorse, take the ball every fifth day and get deep into the game. I like pitchers who are built for the long haul, whose physical stature hint that they can run like a good engine for seven innings.

Just about every scout I know buried the talent at Hyannis this year, but the Baseball Beginnings guy disagrees, wondering if anyone was watching the outfielder from South Carolina or the right-hander from Minnesota. Must be the vintage Mets uniforms making everyone think Mookie Wilson came out of retirement.

The Baseball Beginnings pre-draft 2010 college list isn’t made up of Boras Babies and Baseball America Beauties. Instead, we go by the players we have seen in person on the Cape or out West here in California. This list is being published in September 2009, eight full months before the June 2010 MLB Draft. As we stated in our high school lists for pitchers, infielders, outfielders and catchers, our college lists are not meant to be taken as definitive this early in the process. Don’t live or die by anything this early, as some guys will sink and some will swim. If you want hype, well, I’m not your kind of scout. As we say here at Baseball Beginnings, the players will rank themselves.
