Badler "Jan15" Intl Review

[bmags]

Sure would be nice if they made it jan 2 for consistency.

There were some interesting highlights, which is to be expected of Badler who just goes the extra mile on this stuff.

I'm going to skip the vera and cespedes stuff which is well-covered for 2 notes that were super fun:

"Dario Borrero, OF, Venezuela: In the last year and a half, Borrero hit a growth spurt, going from a skinny 6-foot-2 up to now 6-foot-5, 200 pounds. For such a tall player, Borrero still has a fairly simple, short stroke for his size from the left side that's loose, relaxed and easy. He does a good job of going with where the ball is pitched, showing the bat control to shoot pitches on the outer third to left field or pull pitches on the inner third. His power has started to spike now, with a chance to grow into significantly more thunder once he packs on another 30-40 pounds."

6 foot 5 200 lbs is hilarious

 

Sleeper Watch

The White Sox pulled a sleeper out of Panama when they signed outfielder Benyamin Bailey for $35,000 in April 2019. They could have another low-dollar sleeper signing from the country in this class with 18-year-old righthander Carlos Hinestroza. After playing third base up until a few years ago, Hinestroza moved to the mound, where his arm works well with a fastball that's been up to 91 mph and a chance to throw significantly harder once he gains more experience and adds strength to his 6-foot-1 frame. He's still learning how to pitch, with a slider and a changeup also in his repertoire."

 

Also, didn't know that RHP Adrian Gil (or maybe just didn't pay attention to) was repped by Freddy Garcia and Carlos Guillen.

The next Tim Anderson?

Looks like the profile hasn't been updated in quite awhile...
