Nice add, but international prospects always hit or miss. No inbetween. Keep adding more AA, some hit, alot dont.

[CyYoung31]

Lmao.

The non-homerific site has Benitez as a 40+, and they state he will likely have to slide to 3B as he fills out.

For reference, a 40+ in the US draft is in the 30-60 pick range.

That's probably fair. I will say that the Yankees had him locked up until they low balled him. The hype was real in Yankee Fandom. There's a lot to be excited about with him though. He and Ambioris Tavarez are great dart throws.

Maybe more like a Trevor Story floor

Benitez > Maitan

He's at worst Barry Larkin. Deal with it

[drewdat]

Salcedo better than either

[Hulavol]

Benetiz has a floor of Craig Biggio. Except his fielding floor at SS of Andrelton Simmons - per me.

This was the expected international signing or a different one?

Braves have been tied to Benitez and Glod from the word go.

Twins sign Acuna's younger brother

Twins sign Acuna's younger brother

Stupid. Regardless of how we viewed him we should have topped that offer. I don’t care if he ends up being a scrub.

Future Glod Glover

Thank God you don't have control over anyone else's checkbook.

Tell the truth - you would have drafted both Shawn and Jake Murphy early and written them both a big check.

Weird take

[thethe]

It’s weird that we are going to reward our best players family and show additional loyalty?

Think it’s a smart investment when Acuna starts wanting an extension.

[Tapate50]

Nice to be players in this market again

Yes, and before you wriggle around looking for some crazy way to justify doing so it really is that simple and needs no explanation.

The Braves aren't sending Ozzie's Grandmother money in the hopes of resigning him down the road are they?
