Yes, these were the highlighted players of this class. I will get more info about them when they are officially signed.

I’ve never looked forward to International Signing Day as much as this year.   Not so much because I have huge expectations for this group (though I certainly have high hopes), but because there’s just nothing else to talk about right now.   

Prieto is especially fun since he’s not 5-6 years away from the majors like most of these guys will be.   But I’m looking forward to hearing about all these guys.  All aboard the hype train!!

There's a scouting report and bonuses for all of the players now in the OP.

The Prieto signing wasn’t known until recently. He’s one of the better players in Cuba and at a young age. We should view him as a bonus 2nd/3rd rd draft pick. Great depth. He most certainly will make either Delmarva or Frederick on OD. A really good signing. The international classes are getting incrementally better each year.

@Tony-OH Thanks for all your hard work getting the board migrated. It’s good to be back. 
 

I saw on MLBTR that the O’s and five other teams have the highest int’l bonus pool allotments at $6.2mm.  We’ve always spent our entire bonus pool money in the regular draft.  It would be huge to actually see us find good enough players for us to reach $6.2mm and not trade slots for 26 yo UTIL guys.

The Prieto signing out of Cuba seems very underrated.  The Eric Sogard comp really threw some cold water on it, and we all have Hanser Alberto memories, but I think this guy has a higher ceiling.  He is arguably the “best hitter” in Cuba.
 

I would think Prieto ranks somewhere between Norby, Vavra, and Ortiz.

From the video I've seen and the reports, I think he's probably somewhere around those guys prospect wise. He's got a nice swing but the quality of pitching he was seeing was not very good. I'd probably have him behind Norby but in front of Vavra initially.

Sounds like a really good signing for $750k, which is essentially 2nd rd draft pick money. I’m assuming that at least half of our pool went to Valera(1.5mm), Prieto(750k), and Arias.

You want to know what a top international program looks like?  Per Fangraphs, 10 of the Yankees’ top 12 prospects were international signings.   

Good international program and late draft position in the U.S. amateur draft.

And they're quick to trade those Internationals for Major League Talent.

They've given about $4 million to their top signee Roderick Arias, the shortstop.   Leaves them $1.2 to fill out their class.

 

 

They spent more than that on Jasson Dominguez, at 5.1M he was practically the class for the whole year.

Looking at Baseball America's "signing preview".   You have to read between the lines.  Their coverage was next to worthless this year, It appears this was the order of the bonuses:

1. Tavera

2. Arias

3. Prieto

4. Amparo

No one else was mentioned, Just the biggest bonuses for all 30 teams.  They didn't even mention the dollar amounts.  Maybe Steve Melewski will fill in the details.

I am sure we will get some details today. Bonus information on the Dominican and Cuban guys generally gets out.   They do try to keep a lid on the Venezuelans because of the kidnapping problems that happen there.   

We know Tony has been talking to a team source and hopefully once these signings occur he will have some tidbits about these players.   And either Elias or Perez usually tosses the media a few bones.

      He threw that fastball right down the shoot on a 1-2 count. That was not a case of Trout being Trout. It was a case of horrible location. I have to believe that it was not his intention to throw it there after he watched us beat Trout several times the night before with hard stuff up in the zone (Trout's only weakness). Maybe the extra day messed up something with Rodriguez's ability to execute? Maybe he just had a bad night? But this was not the case of the Angels being good. It was Grayson who was really bad.

      That’s probably true and Elias said he also didn’t want to call him up if he wasn’t ready to be an everyday player.   So ………. something to keep an eye on.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Yea he has looked bad but while it’s fair to point that out, it’s also fair to point that some of this could be attributed to rust, an injury, not having a real ST, not playing in the field as much (I assume since he’s not catching?), etc…I think his timing is likely off and he’s working himself back into things. He has played 15 games. He has a multi hit game in 1/3 of his game so far. You point out all the Ks…what’s funny is all the Ks came in 5 games and he hasn’t struck out the last 4. To me the only thing that bothers me as of right now is the zero walks but it’s not something that would concern me long term.

      This indicates that his timing is off. And as many have already mentioned, he is pulling off the ball. This probably due to his lower confidence (because he has been scuffling) and not trusting himself enough to stay back and go with the pitch. This will get corrected in due time.

      That's fine we each are entitled to our opinions.  I think we both want the same thing, which is for Holliday to get it going. As to how he get's there, we will have to see how it plays out.

      Maybe not so good that his front hip is almost in the first base dugout and he has to get fully extended just to reach a ball on the outside corner.
