Mike, I believe stating "Valor was rated as the 25th best prospect on the international market this year by Baseball America's Ben Badler" is inaccurate.
Ben even clarified on Twitter that the list is meant to rank the expected bonus for these guys, not their abilities. In fact, the first line in that link says "The players below from Latin America are ranked based on their expected signing bonuses, not their projected talent"

Whoops, my bad. Thanks zs190.

I like the signing.
The Reds seem to like the international market, with the Soto, Francisco, Rodriguez and Duran signings, among others.
