Mephisto Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Chris George is a former 1st round pick of the Royals. Does anyone have a scouting report on him? I read a brief report on him saying he has good movement on his pitches, but struggles against right handers. Maybe he could be a specialist.
