Weird move

Odd

[sturg33]

Does this mean we lose the poster, too?

[zbhargrove]

Okay...

We traded him to the Peace Corps already

[SJ24]

I highly doubt Ventura will ever amount to anything. We must like someone really well on the international market.

[zbhargrove]

Otani come on over

Otani come on over

gimme

We are limited to 300K per signing bonus. So this is doubly weird.

I do think this signing period and the next will be an interesting experiment. I don't mind spreading our international funds among 20 or 30 players who are decent but not elite prospects. When they are that young that might not be a bad strategy. Of course we have no choice but to pursue that strategy.

[chop2chip]

This must mean we plan on using up that international bonus pool which is good news.

I really liked Ventura. Sad to see him go.

[bravesfanMatt]

We already have enough to buy 18 - 20 300 K guys next year.. very strange trade. I mean, Ventura was not going to play in Atl.. but why for int'll money.

[The Chosen One]

They already planning on replacing Hamilton with someone who steals a hundred bases?

We have some depth at CF in the lower minors so I was expecting one of that to do. I thought it would be in a largeercdeal, but this may be a situation where we know some teams interested in bonus slot money

He changed his name to Bonus Pool Slot. That, or Cumberland's Hit By Pitches.

On that note, you should probably change your name. Unless you think Teheran has a shot at 3,000 strikeouts.

It ain't over yet. He's still breathing. I presume.

How about HR allowed?

No, as long as Julio Cesar Franco lives, so does the dream.

Plus, changing it to Julio2586 would ruin the homage to another ATLien legend.

Julio probably has 3000 hits if you count the Mexican League. So, it should probably be Julio3000*.
