Braves Sign Edward Salcedo

By Tim Dierkes | February 23, 2010 at 3:22pm CDT

The Braves officially signed 18-year-old Dominican shortstop Edward Salcedo to a deal worth $1.6MM today. He was considered one of the best prospects in Latin America back in 2008, however MLB launched an investigation to confirm his age and identity at the Braves’ behest. 

Salcedo’s birthday was recently established as July 30, 1991. Originally represented by Scott Boras, Salcedo is now represented by Edgar Mercedes, who said the Braves were his client’s first option. Reports in 2008 indicated that Boras was seeking upwards of $5MM for Salcedo. Atlanta recently applied for a visa to allow him to visit their Spring Training complex. 

Atlanta considered Salcedo the equivalent of a high first round pick, which is good because they forfeited their 2010 first rounder to sign Billy Wagner and didn’t receive compensation picks for Rafael Soriano. Already standing 6′-3″, Salcedo is considered to be one of the best offensive players to come out of the Dominican in quite some time, however there are some questions about his ability to remain at short.

The AP first reported that Salcedo’s age had been confirmed (thanks to Nick Collias for the translation), and MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reported that the two sides were near an agreement. Dave O’Brien of The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported the terms.

          The throw from SS tends to be longer than the throw from 3B. Usually the toughest part of the transition is having less time to react to sharply hit balls.

    Via PerfectGame USA:

    “Edward Salcedo is a FA SS with a 6’3”, 190 lb. frame from La Vega, Dominican Republic. Big League body, strong and athletic. Smooth, easy defensive actions, easy plus arm, can really play SS. Aggressive swing, power projection, deep load from wide base, good bat speed, geared to drive fastballs, timing will be an issue. All the tools to be a top player. Potential 1st round type if in draft. ”

    Sounds promising. I wonder what the terms will be.

    Assuming this guy is signed and pans out (obviously a big assumption), he or Escobar would probably be more than capable of playing 3rd. Maybe this will help stop the stupid obsession with finding a 3rd base prospect that the Braves nation seems to have.

      How is findind a 3B prospect a “stupid obsession”? It’s not like Chipper is going to play forever, and the Braves have a huge lack of position prospects in the minors.

        It’s always stupid to take a less talented player because he plays a certain position. I’m mainly referring to the people who think the drafts are failures because the Braves didn’t land a 3rd baseman in the 1st round or that they need to trade specifically for a 3rd base prospect.

    Sounds like this guy is going to be brought up as a 3B prospect. Some quotes form an ESPN Insider article.

    “Though first marketed as a shortstop, at least one scout thinks he’ll most likely have to switch positions. ‘For sure he’s going to third base now’ the scout said.”

    I hope the Braves do sign this young man. From the videos I have watched of him playing, he seems to have great athleticism. I do worry about Yunel leaving in a few years. (He is represented by the same company that represents Furcal, whom JS vowed to never do business with again.)

    The Braves have team control over Chipper, Escobar and Prado for the next four seasons so I’m not that concerned about or infield depth on the farm. We do need to be signing and drafting these kinds of young SS/3B impact prospects in event of an early Chipper retirement or when things shake up in 2014.

    if Chipper struggles again or has any more foot problems he may be closer to retiring than finishing out his contract. The Braves will always have pitching prospects to trade for middle infield depth if they need too, but signing a guy like this never hurts your chances. Id take a young Andruw Jones type production at any position.

    If this guy can pan out the way he should then i like the signing. If Escobar keeps it up, he might be better suited for third base. He’d turning into a power guy and that tells me he belongs at third base. That arm of his would be just fine there and maybe this guy could be ready by that time because unlesshe blows everyone away this spring training I don’t see Brandon Hicks going much further than AAA stalwart or going to the Royals

        Hicks has an amazing glove and his power/batting eye combo is actually pretty good but his awful contact rate is really holding him back. He had a nice second half of the season last year so I’m hoping for a bit of a breakout from him.

    Let’s get this done Aquino. We have some of the best pitching depth and talent of any system but beyond Heyward, Schafer and Freeman (and maybe Cody Johnson and Bethancourt) we don’t really have much in the ways of impact positional prospects. Salcedo would go a long way to improving our talent base.

          in agreement also. I liked the idea of adding Damon, but only at a $2-3mil 1yr deal. No way Id pay more than that. After the fact, Id much rather spend the extra cash on some position prospects like this one. We need to get some kids like this before the next draft. Its pretty much loaded with pitchers

        which is ok because Minor is a freakin’ monster and i honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he pulled a Medlen and ended up in the bullpen at least for a few weeks at some point this year. Remember how he did in Rome? .64 era?

          Minor is not going to be good. Yes, he did well in A, but he’s expected to. He’s a polished college pitcher. Look at his numbers for the AFL: 4.86 ERA, 8 BB, 1.74 WHIP. YUCK! What we have in Mike Minor is another Jo Jo Reyes on our hands. The Braves deserve it though, they signed him because he was cheaper than the other pitchers on the board. Whenever you don’t draft the best player on the board because of money, you deserve to get burned.

          I am happy that the FO is going after this other kid though. It seems like he may be an actual talent. Hopefully they can sign him and redeem themselves for the Minor debacle.

            Minor’s change is better than any pitch Jo Jo has and his mental ability far exceeds Reyes’ on the mound. He pitched poorly in the AFL but it’s routinely seen as a serious hitter’s haven of a league, let’s wait and see what he does in AA this year before calling him a complete waste of a pick

            Wrong. Minor was the 2nd best pitcher in the draft behind Strasburg. He just doesn’t have as much upside as other pitchers. Most scouts would predict that Minor is the most likely of any pitcher in the draft to get 100 wins. Minor is almost a given to at least be a #4 starter. Of the high upside picks, probably only half of them will pan out.

        which makes sense considering the braves haven’t picked in the top 10 for a long time before selecting minor. He signed for last year’s slot at the 7th pick whereas the other guys they were considering at 7 (wheeler, matzek) were either taken or signed for nearly 1.5M more than minor

    This kid seems really good and I am getting excited about the possibility of what he could be. But the fact that the Braves are the only team that is showing significant interest in signing this kid to what is going to be considered a below market deal is bothering me. I mean guys like this don’t just fly right under the radar. He should be receiving as much if not more attention and money than Aroldis Chapman did. If the guy has been deemed as 18 years old and is projected to have plus power, speed, and defense; then why are the Brave’s the only team fighting for him? Guys like this don’t grow on trees.

      Per DOB’s blog:

      “Braves hope to have 18-year-old SS prospect Edward Salcedo signed as soon as he passes a physical. They’ve been working to get him from the Dominican to Florida to take it.

      He’s been highly sought by a lot of teams, and Braves consider him equivalent of a first-round draft choice. A high first-round choice.”

      I think there has been quite a bit of interest from quite a few teams, but sometimes these sort of signings happen because a team’s representative in the country has built a strong relationship with the player and the player feels commited to signing with the team that has spent them most time with him.

      This may not be the case or it may be that the Braves have simply offered the most money. In any case, 2-3M is no small bonus to an international free agent and he does look like first round talent.

    Most international signings don’t pan out. He most likely won’t be the next a-roid or andruw. It’s fine to dream, but if the braves think they have their future 3rd baseman all locked up now, that’s probably not wise.

      You could say that about any international signing. Obviously, some of them pan out. I agree though that he shouldn’t be considered the future anything until he starts to show potential playing professionally.

    i think that eddie perez being the next head coach had a lot to do with the brazes being able to sign this guy

    Great News!! I’m glad to see the Braves spending some money in the International market.

      We actually spend quite a bit of money in the international market snagging guys like Julio Teheran and Christian Bethancourt as just recent examples.

    And just like that, Atlanta has their replacement for when Chipper Jones rides off into the sunset. What perfect timing. Salcedo should be ready right when Chip is projected to retire.

    As for Escobar leaving via free agency.. not going to happen. If Atlanta didn’t have a longterm plan for Yunel then Jake Peavy would be a Brave and Esco would be in San Diego.

      Most of these guys are, so what’s your point? Or did you just want to make an arguement with no facts or data to back it up?

      did mario tell you that? or was it luigi? because luigi really doesn’t know that much about sports. he likes to talk the talk, but at the end of the day all he knows is plumbing.

    This certainly is Chippers replacement that we did not have in the minor league system!!!

    Braves need to sign as many players like this as they can. The farm is loaded with arms, just as next years draft is also, but they are severly lacking position players who are MLB ready

      Outside of Heyward you mean….

      Also I have to throw Schafer and Freeman in the mix later this year and in 2011, but beyond that there isn’t much close.

          I guess Im referring more to middle infield and 3B prospects. Hopefully Prado progresses with the glove a bit at 2B, looks more comfortable in his time at third. But you’re right as well, there are only three guys that look like they are close and two of them (Freeman and Schafer) battled some injuries last season

    i love this signing and hope wren makes a few more like it. Of course Wren hopes ths guy can replace chipper, thats common sense. I hope he doesnt just hand this guy the job though. Wren should sign a similiar player to compete with him. And anyone who wouldnt want a young andrew jones is mental. ANdrew was almost a lock for 500HR and the HOFtill he got lazy.
