If you have periscope you can watch the signing over there of Kevin Maitan. https://mobile.twitter.com/BenBadler...44257341431808
This farm is unbelievably good.
You have to believe we'll be the consensus #1 farm system after this haul.
Not really. IFAs aren't really factored heavily until they come stateside and have proven themselves .Originally Posted by Garmel
Has anything in life every made you happy or a positive person?
Where might Maitin slot in our system? Top 10?
Maitan is the exception.
Damn. Braves are cleaning the **** up.
He is right though. These guys won't really factor in the farm this year. Plus other orgs are getting good talent. I am happy today and our period goes on until next June. So there will be more.
He'll still likely only be just inside the top 100, he's not going to move the needle much for being the top farm system. Not that we won't have the top farm system, but he's right that it won't be because of this IFA class.
What are you talking about? I was just stating a fact. 16 year olds are too far away to factor prominently in rankings. That's just a fact.

OFFICIAL: A's agree to terms with five players on International Signing Day, including #4 prospect Lazaro "Lazarito" Armenteros from Cuba.
For those of you who still holding out hope on lazzo
He won't move the needle a ton, but he will absolutely be factored in. If anything, it will at least be as a 'The Braves have the top farm system, and adding talent like Maitan makes that gap even wider.'
Not worried about him. Based on his scouting reports, I'll be pretty surprised if he ever becomes much.
we were consensus before the haul IMO. I know people rate talent differently, but we are so loaded and are depth is insane
I'd imagine we will hear that statement or close to it a few times this offseason. yep.
So far, we've got the following:
C- Abrahan Gutierrez
SS/3B- Kevin Maitan
SS- Yunior Severino
SS- Livan Soto
3B- Yenci Pena
RHP- Juan Contreras
RHP- Yefri del Rosario
RHP- Guillermo Zuniga
Are we going to sign any more today? Before this signing period ends?
MLB clubs have been told they cannot negotiate with the Red Sox prospects and probable prospects yet... the Union is making sure they have agent representation first. So there's still a small chance there. Otherwise, there are still a handful of top guys not linked with any one specific club. I'd like to see Vladimir Gutierrez, but its likely a pipe dream.
I imagine they will likely still sign a handful of less expensive guys - players in the 200-400k range
