Scouting Report
- Granadillo can play both second base and third base adequately. Despite Internet reports to the contrary, he does not play shortstop. Excellent plate discipline and above average power for a middle infielder. Hits lefties at a slightly better clip. Seems to have really taken to Boston's hitting philosophies, as he has improved his game every season with the organization. ~Soxprospects.com
