Excellent work today Gruber.

I wish I could thank this post twice.

This game is on the radio, right? Gruber, I'm going to need scouting reports on how Tellez, Alford and Pompey looked. Or is radio scouting just a Grant thing?

Gruber da real MVP today

What a dum dum http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/23/report-jonathan-martin-taken-into-custody/

Good work you're doing here Spanks.

Too bad. I am going to thank the s*** out of you.

I will be giving out free "thanks" to anyone posting play by play.

At first I thought this was a pretty big waste of beer but if you look really hard you can see spanky licking every last drop off the floor.

Pretty shady of you Org. To roster a shitbag like that should cost at least a 3rd.

It was a joke.

Mee dumm

since he rejected the QO I would be pretty surprised if he settled on a 1 year, 7 million deal.

Well, it appears that Joey Bats career will be over unless he's cool with an MILB pact.

Hopefully Martinez works out as well as the last guy that we gave the highest international bonus too.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic--The rosters for Major League Baseball's annual international amateur showcase are stacked with most of the top players in the 2018 class. The event, which is Wednesday and Thursday at Estadio Quisqueya in Santo Domingo, typically has not included Cuban players. This year, the showcase includes two big arms from Cuba--righthanders Osiel Rodriguez and Sandy Gaston--who will be eligible to sign on July 2. Cuban outfielder Julio Pablo Martinez, the top international player subject to the bonus pools, won't be there, since he turns 22 in April. He's not yet a free agent, so he could figure into either the current 2017-18 signing period or the upcoming 2018-19 class. The rosters are mostly players from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, but the showcase will also include prospects from Brazil, Curacao, Mexico, Colombia and Panama. These are 12 of the key players to watch at the showcase, with the full rosters below. All of the highlighted players are 16, unless noted otherwise. Osiel Rodriguez, rhp, Cuba Rodriguez dazzled at the Nations Baseball Showcase in San Pedro de Macoris in November, reaching 96 mph and flashing a sharp, above-average curveball, all shortly before his 16th birthday later that month. Before he left Cuba, Rodriguez led the country's 15U national league in ERA (0.39) in 2016, with 127 strikeouts and 27 walks in 69 innings. Sandy Gaston, rhp, Cuba Gaston and Rodriguez are the two players who will be of the most interest to scouts at the showcase. Multiple scouts said they have seen Gaston touch the upper 90s, which is uncanny velocity for a 16-year-old. He has battled with his control at times, but he has shown enormous arm strength for his age. It's not clear where Gaston will end up yet, though the Marlins have shown interest. Orelvis Martinez, ss, Dominican Republic Martinez is expected to be the highest paid player this year, with a bonus likely to push past $3 million. He's 6-foot-1, 190 pounds with good bat speed, generating power with ease from right-center field over to his pull side. Martinez is a shortstop for now, though he projects to be a strong, physical player who would profile well at third base. The Blue Jays are the frontrunners. Noelvi Marte, ss, Dominican Republic Marte, who is linked to the Mariners, is one of the top offensive threats in the class. He has performed well in games, showing a sound sense of the strike zone and big power, though a position switch could be in his future. Misael Urbina, of, Venezuela Urbina, 15, is one of the better athletes in the class, a righthanded hitter with plus speed and good range in center field. The Twins are connected to Urbina. ADVERTISING Francisco Alvarez, c, Venezuela Alvarez has a stout build, and while some scouts think he will need to improve his defense to stay behind the plate, he has one of the best track records of hitting and hitting for power in games in Venezuela. The Mets are linked to Alvarez. Marco Luciano, ss, Dominican Republic Luciano is a premium prospect with a sound swing, good bat speed and plus power, driving the ball out of the park to all fields with ease during batting practice. He has taken it to the games as well, hitting opposite-field home runs against live pitching and pulling one over the fence in MLB's Dominican national showcase in November. The Giants are tied to Luciano. Diego Cartaya, c, Venezuela Cartaya looked as good as advertised at MLB's Venezuelan national showcase in Cartagena, Colombia last month, when he went 2-for-4 and drew three walks. Arguably the best Venezuelan prospect this year and one of the top overall 2018 prospects, Cartaya has a short swing, good plate discipline and strong defensive tools as well. The Dodgers are the favorites to sign him. Gabriel Rodriguez, ss, Venezuela Rodriguez, who turns 15 on Thursday, is one of the most advanced hitters from Venezuela. He has a simple swing from the right side and a long track record of hitting well in games, including at the COPABE 15U Pan American Championships last year. Rodriguez lacks speed and he could slide over to third base. Rodriguez is linked to the Indians. Alvin Guzman, of, Dominican Republic The Diamondbacks are the frontrunners to sign Guzman, who sticks out for the high physical upside in his athletic 6-foot-1, 165-pound frame. He has shown good defensive instincts, a plus arm and good bat speed from the right side. Jose Rodriguez, c, Venezuela While Rodriguez will have to improve his defense to remain at catcher, scouts highest on him see an offensive-minded catcher with an advanced bat from the right side of the plate. The Rangers are connected to Rodriguez. Eduardo Lopez, of, Dominican Republic Lopez, 15, is 5-foot-10, 160 pounds, and while he's not physically imposing, he's one of the most polished players in the Dominican Republic. He has a short, easy stroke from both sides, with feel for the barrel and the strike zone, and while he's not a burner, he has shown good defensive instincts. Lopez is linked to the Red Sox. Catchers Francisco Alvarez, Venezuela Diego Cartaya, Venezuela Antonio Gomez, Venezuela Agustin Ramirez, Dominican Republic Jose Rodriguez, Venezuela Fernando Villalobos, Mexico Infielders Jose Bonilla, Dominican Republic Warming Bernabel, Dominican Republic Marco Luciano, Dominican Republic Noelvi Marte, Dominican Republic Orelvis Martinez, Dominican Republic Adinso Reyes, Dominican Republic Junior Sanquintin, Dominican Republic Alexeis Azuaje, Venezuela Miguel Droz, Venezuela Eduardo Garcia, Venezuela Branlyn Jaraba, Colombia Rainer Polonius, Curacao Ryson Polonius, Curacao Gabriel Rodriguez, Venezuela Outfielders Jose de la Cruz, Dominican Republic Eduarqui Fernandez, Dominican Republic Alvin Guzman, Dominican Republic Eduardo Lopez, Dominican Republic Jose Lopez, Dominican Republic Freddy Valdez, Dominican Republic Deivis Alvis, Venezuela Gabriel Martinez, Venezuela Luis Matos, Venezuela Misael Urbina, Venezuela Eduardo Vaughan, Panama Pitchers Gabriel Barbosa, rhp, Brazil Lisander Brito, rhp, Dominican Republic Carlos Carballo, rhp, Nicaragua Juan Carela, rhp, Dominican Republic Starlyn Castillo, rhp, Dominican Republic Justino Dominguez, rhp, Dominican Republic Gabriel Jackson, rhp, Dominican Republic Andy Maldonado, rhp, Dominican Republic Fernando Ortega, rhp, Dominican Republic Carlos Reyes, rhp, Dominican Republic Jerming Rosario, rhp, Dominican Republic Jose Ruviera, rhp, Dominican Republic Arthur Sabino, rhp, Brazil Diomedes Sierra, lhp, Dominican Republic Joalbert Angulo, lhp, Venezuela Javier Atencio, lhp, Venezuela Abraham Calzadilla, rhp, Venezuela Luis Carrasco, rhp, Venezuela Richard Gallardo, rhp, Venezuela Sandy Gaston, rhp, Cuba Carlos Gimenez, rhp, Venezuela Jorman Gonzalez, rhp, Venezuela Wuilliam Hernandez, rhp, Venezuela Francisco Lucumi, rhp, Colombia Adrian Mendez, lhp, Venezuela Johangel Ramirez, rhp, Venezuela Angel Rivero, rhp, Venezuela Osiel Rodriguez, rhp, Cuba Rolando Sirit, rhp, Venezuela Read more at https://www.baseballamerica.com/international/top-2018-international-prospects-watch-mlb-showcase/#gYVlzoTQABxtyUww.99

Different circumstances. I was already offering you a deal where you unquestionably got more value so i had no interest in expanding it. Duda can be had for a good prospect though.

Lucas Duda available
