  3. The inner rage in me is strong.
  4. Baltimore Orioles ($5.75 million) They’re not linked to any notable prospects. Read more at http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/al-east-international-signing-forecasts/#uPV1HVcv0SOEQKhU.99 LOL
  5. Boston Red Sox ($4.75 million) After the Red Sox went over their international bonus pool in 2014-15 to sign Anderson Espinoza and other 16-year-old Latin American prospects (before later signing Yoan Moncada), they were limited to signings of no more than $300,000 in 2015-16. They then lost some of their most prominent 2015-16 signings—including Albert Guaimaro and Simon Muzziotti—when MLB removed them from the organization for what the commissioner’s office deemed were signings that broke league rules. The Red Sox were then banned from international signings for the entire 2016-17 signing period that concluded on June 15. The Red Sox are back in the game in 2017 in what looks like a big year for the organization. So big, in fact, that the Red Sox will likely have to trade for additional bonus pool money. They have $4.75 million in their pool and can trade to get up to a little more than $8.3 million, and based on who they’re planning to sign, it’s probable that the Red Sox will make at least one trade on July 2 or soon thereafter for at least a couple million in pool money. Boston’s biggest signings this year are expected to come from Venezuela, a country the Red Sox continue to scout aggressively despite its challenges. Their top signing will likely be Daniel Flores, the No. 2 international prospect and a player who is at the top of the list for some clubs. Between Flores’ talent, a Red Sox farm system that’s lighter than usual and will probably thin out before the trade deadline, Flores would immediately become one of Boston’s top prospects. The Red Sox are also expected to sign Venezuelan shortstop Danny Diaz, the No. 7 international prospect, which would give them two of the top 10 prospects. Diaz is unlikely to spend much if any time at shortstop after he signs, but he has one of the best combinations of hitting ability and power in the class. They’re are also linked to Venezuelan shortstop Antoni Flores, No. 35 on BA’s Top 50, and seem to be higher on him relative to the industry consensus. The Red Sox are also tied to Nelfy Abreu, a switch-hitting shortstop from the Dominican Republic, and Venezuelan shortstop Denny Daza. _____
  6. The only thing that's going to get this team back on track is a Todd GDT or a Todd 101 prospect list.
  7. No criminal record if he completes his community service and stays out of trouble for a year.
  8. Hopefully not of Jim Irsay.
  9. What was it?
  10. I'll take Tomlin. Make me a wise offer.
  11. Damn... Tampa Bay Rays ($5.25 million) Between Brendan McKay and Wander Franco, the Rays could add the top college prospect and the top international prospect to their farm system in less than a month. Franco is the No. 1 international prospect, a switch-hitting Dominican shortstop with outstanding skills from both sides of the plate and game maturity well beyond his years. He has the tools, baseball IQ and hitting ability to move quickly through the farm system if a team wants to push him. Given the recent track record of players ranked at the top of BA’s international prospects lists for July 2 since 2012—Franklin Barreto, Eloy Jimenez, Adrian Rondon, Vladimir Guerrero and Kevin Maitan—getting Franco would be huge for the Rays. With Franco expected to sign for a tick under $4 million, that would eat up most of Tampa Bay’s bonus pool, though they’re also linked to Venezuelan righthander Roybel Santodomingo and should have others lined up as well.
  12. Toronto Blue Jays ($4.75 million) To sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for $3.9 million in 2015, the Blue Jays went over their bonus pool by a tick under 15 percent, putting them in the 10-15 percent pool overage window to trigger a one-year penalty of being unable to sign anyone for more than $300,000 during the most recent 2016-17 signing period. I doubt the Blue Jays regret that decision, as Vladdy Jr. has become one of the game’s elite prospects. With the Blue Jays facing restrictions last year, they had an early, aggressive eye on the top talent in the 2017 class and looked prepared to blow through their bonus pool this year, but the CBA put hard caps on spending. They still scoured the 2017 class thoroughly and are tied to five players ranked among the Top 50 prospects, including the top pitcher, Brazilian righthander Eric Pardinho (No. 14). Teams for the most part had extremely consistent scouting reports on Pardinho, whose combination of stuff, feel for pitching and easy delivery are excellent, but differed on how much they were willing to pay for that skill set from a 16-year-old righthander who’s 5-foot-9. If there’s a team that won’t shy away from a pitcher who is 5-foot-9, it makes sense that it’s the Blue Jays, who drafted and developed Marcus Stroman. Dominican shortstop Miguel Hiraldo (No. 23), Venezuelan righthander Alejandro Melean (No. 32), Panamanian shortstop Leonardo Jimenez (No. 36) and Dominican outfielder Alberto Rodriguez (No. 38) are all linked to the Blue Jays as well. So are shortstops Jostin Chirinos and Jose Rivas, catcher Geiver Gimenez, outfielder Carlos Canache and Ronald Govea, all from Venezuela. lol.
  13. Ehhh....hope you weren't too excited for this. lol

  18. Also, I honestly thought the game was going to end up being Spats and I and maybe 2-3 other people. Going forward if we get 12+ people it will be the standard top 3 in the points and last -1.
