I like him. Nasty slider/curve and groundball tendencies.

Well Keith Law also said on PTS in 2010 that Jose was a one year wonder, and that the Blue Jays should trade him for whatever they could get while they could. lol I would take anything he says with a grain of salt.

I agree, he should definitely get some seasoning in AAA first. It's also good that this trade allows us to slowly integrate DSJ to second base instead of rushing him to fill a need.

Looks like AA reads Breaking Blue. j/k http://www.breakingblue.ca/2013/11/22/the-expendables/

Dang I might have drafted him if I knew he was gonna get traded to a team he had a spot on. Nice spittin.

Love it! Big Travis fan. Luckily for us he's blocked by Kinsler.

Yup. They could put him anywhere from 3rd, SS, 2nd, all organizational needs. He probably needs at least a year or two of seasoning in the minors like Soler though. He's only 19.

The time to get him was 2 years ago when his value was down. I remember a few of us were saying we should sign him but there were others who were saying he was in decline and that we just wanted him cause he was Canadian. I wish I could find that thread now. lol

A second or third base version of Soler (talent-wise not power-wise).

Someone go down to Main and Danforth and pull AA from his souvlaki. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/yoan-moncada-to-hold-showcase.html

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.

Nice Ang. Get Tatis son to sign with us too. I think they're among the top 5 guys right now.

Fall Stars Game on Saturday 7 PM (EST). Dalton Pompey is on the team. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/99771626/afl-fall-stars-game-filled-to-brim-with-talent

Really hope Jonas improves in the rim protecting aspect this year. It's one of our biggest needs.

We can have the Cuban Ryan Goins too.

A younger cheaper alternative to Jose Fernandez? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/10/second-baseman-andy-ibanez-leaves-cuba.html BA ranked him as the 8th best player left in Cuba a few months ago. http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/3818-BA-Best-Remaining-Cuban-Players

So tragic. He had his entire life ahead of him. Condolences to his friends and family. R.I.P. Oscar.

An old familiar name. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/fuenmayor-draft/

Please for the love of Moses sign this guy. Best pure hitter in Cuba, and a solid defender at a position of need.
