Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 A friend of mine, just told me that Vladimir Guerrero Jr and Toronto reached a verbal agreement about 4.5 million dollars for next July 2. The friend of mine (Alex Colome and Jose Dominguez cousin), came to a verbal agreement with the A's for the next July 2.

I think they're among the top 5 guys right now.
ace3113 Verified Member Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 If we're going to pull a Yankees and say F-You to the spending limits (4.5M for one guy?) for a year, Cubans Yoan Moncada and Andy Ibanez could be nice targets for our infield as they're constrained by IFA restrictions.

Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 My source: "Tampa offered 2.5 million and Vladimir said that he had spent that amount of money on food" My source (15 years) is living in the A's complex to protect him from the other teams and avoid injuries lol
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 Nice Ang. Get Tatis son to sign with us too. I think they're among the top 5 guys right now. Tatis and my wife are friends from the church. My wife just told me that Tatis son play in the USA.

Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 Persuade her then. She's behind me laughing!
ace3113 Verified Member Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I forget where this is from but: The internet largely didn't appreciate my comment that I was scouting Vladimir Guerrero Jr. today, but little Vlady put on a nice show in BP. Junior is maxed-out at 6'0/200 and is more of an OF/1B fit, but has some bat speed, flashed average raw power, an arm that could be average and didn't wear batting gloves. 3B Fernando Tatis Jr. was also playing today and fits in the same group as Guerrero--solid player that likely gets six figures 18 months from now, but not an elite talent.

King Old-Timey Member Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 MLBTR •Though he won’t be eligible to sign until July 2, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has already drawn significant interest from the Mets, Blue Jays and Angels, reports MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez (on Twitter). His father, of course, is the same Vladimir Guerrero that won an MVP with the Angels in 2004 and made nine All-Star teams in a 16-year career that saw him bat .318/.379/.553 with 449 home runs.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Very interesting. How does Vladdy Jr compare to his dad, in terms of ability? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's worse.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's worse. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/95100876/vlad-guerrero-jr-following-in-fathers-familys-footsteps "To me, God has given him double the talent that his father had," Wilton Guerrero said. "He also grew up watching the game and he's mature for his age. I really hope he can develop and do what he has to do. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the big leagues at 19 or 20. He's going to be that good."
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Ang, have you ever been to Panama City?
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Ang, have you ever been to Panama City? Yep. One time.
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Nice? Vacationing on a cruise
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Vacationing on a cruise I didn't think Mexicans were allowed to take vacations, or go on boats...
xposbrad Verified Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I didn't think Mexicans were allowed to take vacations, or go on boats... You're thinking of cubans
Qwerty Verified Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 cant wait until 2023. Gonna fly my spaceship to the rogers centre and watch this boy play
jb22 Verified Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 cant wait until 2023. Gonna fly my spaceship to the rogers centre and watch this boy play Cuz he'll be a can't miss prospect that doesnt make the majors til he's 24?
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 with the speculation of the Yankees or Angels... aren't they capped at 300K for the next signing period (aka no Vlad jr)?
Qwerty Verified Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Cuz he'll be a can't miss prospect that doesnt make the majors til he's 24? No. because I'll be able to afford my own spaceship when I'm 35.
King Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd 6h6 hours ago Expected/anticipated/rumored verbal deal is why VGJr didn't go to the Oct DPL event I went to/wrote about; deal has been known for awhile.
King Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Kiley McDaniel@kileymcd As I hinted in Oct http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/scouting-the-top-2015-july-2nd-prospects/ … intl sources expect 16 y/o Vlad Guerrero Jr to sign July 2 w/TOR for $3.2M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0X9Xnjb_rs … Ang had it first!

Anyone else find it interesting that Vlad Junior end up with the Jays despite Vlad senior's tenure with the Jays ending on what seemed like a pretty strained note.

intentional wok Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Anyone else find it interesting that Vlad Junior end up with the Jays despite Vlad senior's tenure with the Jays ending on what seemed like a pretty strained note. Even if he used actual money to wipe away all of papa's tears he'd still be left with 3.1+ million dollars.
King Old-Timey Member Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 actually if McDaniel had this reported in October...he still had it before Ang. True.
