At the age of 17, he went 7-3 with a 0.83 in the national junior championship with 135 strikeouts in 82 innings. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Not gonna lie the extremely messed up intl schedule makes it hard to get too excited about this until we figure out what sox were able to do in Jan(?) with cespedes/other guy.

At this point you'd have to prioritize Cespedes as he fits into the timeline perfectly and an 18 year old pitcher, as talented as this kid appears to be, isn't going to be contributing anytime soon at the MLB level.

Eh, he could contribute as an asset if he is talented and desired. Get the guy you think is best. If cespedes immediately looks like a swing and miss corner outfielder, he'd probably be less valuable than a super talented 19 year old pitcher you could trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Right-wing Luis Danys Morales left Cuba in the last hours and will seek to reach the Major Leagues, a source told CiberCuba. Morales, 17, would be in Mexico and begin the process of becoming a free agent in order to move to professionalism. The supersonic prospect, the last pearl of Cuban baseball , marks 95 miles on his fastball and is believed to have a slider and curve that would take him to the highest level in baseball. Morales posted a 7-3, 0.87 ERA in the last National Junior Championship with Sancti Spiritus and dazzled with a strikeout record of 135 for the category in just 82 innings of performance. Recently, in the National Newscast of Cuban Television, they spoke about Morales being dismissed from the team without clarifying whether or not he was out of the country.

That's fair, and if there's an area we can trust the Sox' scouting it's with the Cubans. That said, I still don't think it would be a great allocation of limited funds.

Yeah, if the stories about who the Sox are chasing from Cuba are already true, the odds are the Jan 2021 allocation is already used up. There is always a process to get eligible anyway, so IF the Sox have a chance, it would have to be in July 21 time period ( or Jan of 22 if it gets moved again). No idea if anyone else has dollars left in the upcoming period or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
