7/22 MINORS FINAL FRIDAY: Mixed Results for Allard, Wentz

Javier was yet another of our international signings last year who no one talks about - like Cruz and Pache. Anyone who doesn't realize how big a deal getting a lot of our old scouts and player development guys back after Wren was fired doesn't understand how important the names you never hear (scouts particularly) are to building a successful team at the MLB level. Over the years, we've been unbelievably fortunate - we've had guys who can find talent playing stickball.

He pitched in the GCL last year. How could he have signed last Int'l period and pitched in the GCL the same year?

I believe he signed the same year as Ventura and Baez
 
Cumberland really heating up in Danville, which is great. Definitely not going to get too hyped about his recent performance, just excited to see him not look overmatched in rookie ball any more.

Got my dates crossed up - you're right. Makes no difference really - another "find" that no one's talking about yet.
 
Javier is definitely a guy no one has talked about, though I'm not sure why we would have before now.

But we've definitely been talking about Cruz and Pache. Quite a bit, especially for 17-year-old kids.

Didn't mean "us" - the media hasn't picked up on them yet - my bad.
