International signings, week 4.

A flurry of international signings ahead of the draft, most of the good MILB, marginal ML player type.



Boston signed RP Miguel Perez for 1.4 million and LF Ariel Mota for 1.3 million. Perez has questional health but great make-up, so we'll see, Mota is part of a trend of 90+ power potential signings.



Los Angeles signed LF Al Feliz for 460K. Another 90+ power guy, not merely cheap, but ultra cheap. An A+ on smart use of the money.



Jacksonville signed SP Damaso Amaro for 2 million. Good stuff, bad control. Will he make the ML some day? Who knows, but even as a career high inning MILB starter, he is a bargain.



Philadelphia signed 3B (RF?) Jesus Gonzalez for 2.3 million, I'm pretty sure to see if he can hit a curve ball. He is another 90+ power guy. Anybody noticing a trend this week?



Three very minor signings: Durham signed RP Jolbert Alcantaro for 190k, Huntington signed RP Domingo Reynoso for 80k, and Helena signed C Alex Fernanadez for 60K. All seem like reasonable MILB signings. I know in my case the Catcher is strictly to catch rookie ball.

Addendum: some time next week, my DSL will be up and running. Huzzah!
