RandBall: A scouting report on Twins' Class AA Chattanooga team

June 26, 2017 at 11:58AM

A brief scouting report after watching the Chattanooga Lookouts — Class AA affiliate of the Twins — play in person Saturday:

• Stephen Gonsalves and Fernando Romero are the starting pitching prospects with more raw ability, but Saturday's starter, Felix Jorge, had good command and a good feel for the game. He gave up two runs — both on a bloop double — but generally saved his best pitches for clutch situations. His delivery and results will remind a lot of Twins fans of Nick Blackburn, which is meant as a compliment.

• Shortstop Nick Gordon, considered by many to be one of the Twins' top prospects, went 0-for-4 but remains over .300 on the season. I won't judge one game too harshly. I gave up on Denard Span after seeing one minor league game in 2005, and he turned out to be awfully good.

• Chattanooga fans love "Star Wars." That was the theme of Saturday night's game.
