International draft thread

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Someone in the Dominican Republic is going to be a star. So we'll just sign them all.

Why not.

[TheBravos]

Jesse Sanchez says the braves signed 25 players and many of those were at the 300k threshold.

Sheew...we are going to have to add a second GCL club...

Sheew...we are going to have to add a second GCL club...

Should've done that before this season.

Baseball America sez:

Atlanta Braves
Asmin Bautista, of, Dominican Republic, $300,000.
Ramon Taveras, ss, Dominican Republic
Oscar Nunez, rhp, Dominican Republic, $185,000.
Geraldo Santana, of, Dominican Republic
Estarling Rodriguez, rhp, Dominican Republic

Sounds like two TORs, a dynamic lead off guy and two corner OF sluggers to me .

#Braves are in the penalty and can't sign an int'l player for more than $300K. They were very busy & came to terms with almost 25 prospects.

So far....

Atlanta Braves
Asmin Bautista, of, Dominican Republic
Ramon Taveras, ss, Dominican Republic
Oscar Nunez, rhp, Dominican Republic

Oscar Nunez who played Oscar on the American version of The Office? I"m not going to question the scouting staff, but that Oscar Nunez is 59 years old.

'Almost 25' prospects? The heck?

Anyway, I love that we signed so many despite the penalty. We've had success in this range, so you feel pretty good about getting 1-2 guys out of this group turning into something good.
