Interesting stuff! Hopefully the Pirates will sign at least one of these guys.

That’s pretty awesome. He seems in touch with American culture already, he still has the new era sticker on his hat, lol.

How do he Pirates attract any of these types of players? Why doesnt another team start a smear campaign against them by informing these kids that the Pirates have not put even a decent team on a field since well before some of them were born? It would only take showing them the season standings from 93 – to current. I feel like they are being suckered by the Pirates, even more than the rest of us.

From a previous MLBtraderumors thread…

Eskralin Vasquez would be a nice pick up. OF with power…what a concept 🙂

Darryl Strawberry he’s a 5-tool player comps, or Darryl Strawberry he’s on crack comps?

Both!

Anyone know which teams these prospects have been linked to?

The Yankees should use their financial prowess and grab an OF prospect or two, maybe even a SS to start looking for Jeter’s heir.

Yeah the Yanks need to sign something more than the best Latin catchers. I really wanted them to sign Sano.

why dont the Yankees just sign all 10?

Haha, you assume that because I’m a Yankee fan I must have a misplaced sense of entitlement to every player/prospect in the game….how cute.

I wouldn’t mind the Sox going after 1 or 2 high upside projects. Can never have too many minor leaguers

For all the hoopla about the Nationals getting better, they have been awful in the international market. They talk about how they’re recovering since the Smiley fiasco that cost Jim Bowden his job, but unless they start sticking their necks out to get some of these guys, they are not marshalling their resources effectively.

Mets should look at the SS prospects to maybe move to 2B. Another good OF would be nice too. And definately look into a pitcher.

I’m curious about the author of this post. Who is Blake Bentley and where did he get the finances to spend four months scouting guys in the DR, unless he is a scout and/or baseball professional, in which case – what’s his day job?
Rev or just monaco
hes a scouting coordinator in the DR for the Toronto Blue Jays. He also worked for the Gwinnett Braves
