RHP Guillermo Zuniga from Colombia has signed for $350,000.

Haven't seen confirmation by Badler or Sanchez in regards to Del Rosario

 

[Preacher]

We just signed the #1 guy in the international market. I know it was expected, but the top player is ours!!!! How often does something like that happen???

GREAT JOB BY THE BRAVOS! If you sign nobody else today you still win.

Maitan is ours.

I see we're trying to exploit the Columbian market and started with Julion, now that everyone is digging in Curacao.

Any news on Lazaretto ?

Last I read was he's signing with the A's for $3 MM.

I wonder if we still have ties with the Renterias. Edgar played for us and Edinson coached in our system. We have worked Colombia pretty hard over the years. Besides Teheran, Luis Barrios was one of more heralded signings a few years back. Ronald Luna was a utility IF in the lower minors for us as well.

Could we get a formal list put together and organized on the first page?

Keith Law called Contreras the best pitcher in this class yesterday. How in the world did we get him for $200k?

Hype train is real. Today is a good day.

People seem to be all over the place on him, I've seen him ranked from 19 to the 40s in the class. More consistently in the 30s-40s though.

Size and delivery concerns have led most to assume he's a future reliever, but I'm definitely psyched.

Baseball America reporting Severino's deal is for $1.9 million and Contreras's deal is for $1.2 million. That would make much more sense.

 

[chipchildress]

wow, what a day!

now with one more draft and one more opportunity to pick a really highly rated hitter coming, this rebuild is really starting to round into form and with some squinting, one can see a possible powerhouse well down the road. a lot has to work out, but with 500 quality mlb pitching prospects in the system, it does seem possible that they can find enough to really carry them through for years. we'll see.
