I'm putting this playlist together, most of it comes from Fangraph's Youtube account and I am going to add some from Matt Hall's baseball account as well.

 

I am pretty interested in international prospects and that whole side of baseball operations, lets hope the Sox put together another good July 2nd signed period.

Position players that impressed me OF Vlad Guerrero Jr, OF Franklin Reyes, SS Aramis Ademan, and OF Starling Heredia.

 

I liked:

 

Aramis Ademan - Really nice swing from the left side.

Seuly Matias - Bat speed

Carlos Vargas

Sterling Heredia - Kiley McDaniel has raved about him, I think hes attached to the Cubs.

Gergory Guerro - I have seen a lot of video on him.

After coming across and reading some articles on Guerrero Jr, I also want him signed by us. (Was also a big fan of his dad too)

 

I have concerns about his bat speed and is going to be fun to see his body develop

just b/c of the pedigree, i still would take a chance, actually next int'l signing, i want the sox to break the bank and sign alot. the farm while doing very good, is still in a fragile state. the sox can't even find a decent prospect to use as a backup, they still need develop time.

I wouldn't break the bank for one player, I like what the Sox did last year and spread the bonus pool around on a group of players. I would like to see the Sox trade for more international cash. If they're going to over spend, then I would like to see the Sox go all in on this guy in 2016

 

Kiley McDaniel:

"One more name has been brought up as a high end guy in the 2016 class: Venezuelan C Abraham Gutierrez, who trains with former big leaguer Carlos Guillen. Gutierrez is average to plus across the board with precocious all fields power and the tools to stick behind the plate. He’s obviously also very young, so it’s very early to throw lofty comparisons around like with Maitan, but scouts have said Gutierrez’s overall game is along the lines of Mike Piazza."

 

I say this because I would like to see the Sox start investing heavily into the Catching position. You have to build your team up the middle and thats starts with the battery, I know that there is a dearth of elite catching prospects currently, but if you want to buck that trend then you have to start investing heavily into the position, whether thats in the draft or the July 2nd market.

yeah, i remember him. he was my, i think 2 choice, behind VLad. i still would like them to do it once and over spend, after July 2.
