southsider2k5 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...-spending-team/ Baseball America has compiled estimates of each team’s international spending during the 2014 calendar year. The figures below include spending done throughout 2014, both during the second half of the 2013-14 international signing period and the first half of the current 2014-15 signing period, which began on July 2 and accounts for the overwhelming majority of the spending figures. The spending records exclude Cuban players, regardless of whether they are subject to the bonus pools, since just one of those players can swing the data significantly. The data also does not include players whose rights were purchased from Mexican League teams, since accurate, comprehensive records of those payments are not readily available, although those signings have minimal impact on the overall spending figures.

LDF Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 06:19 PM) http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...-spending-team/ imo money well spent..... all the sox will need is to have 1 player make it and the reward is there. i hate it when JR and the sox org, prob took a self punishment of not signing, scouting or anything b/c of the wilder situation. he is a arse hole and the sox had to pay for it.

harfman77 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Somewhat related - the top 40 International bonuses of 2014: http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...l-bonuses-2014/ White Sox: T-20 - Amado Nunez - SS - $900K T-27 - Jhoandro Alfaro - C -$750K T-27 - Ricardo Mota - SS - $750K The Sox tied the Astros and Rockies for second place having three guys on the list, the Yankees were far and away number one signing 12 of the top 40.

Since it is behind a paywall I don't want to plagiarize the content of the article. Here are some names though that we really did hear about signing last summer. Jose Colina - C - Venezuela Edinxon Arias - RHP - Venezuela Jorgen Rosas - SS - Venezuela Andres Sanchez - RHP Cuba (via Venezuela) Carlos Perez - C - Venezuela Yosmer Solorzano - RHP - Dominican Republic A lot of good things about each. Interesting that Carlos Perez is the brother of the other Carlos Perez that the Sox were rumored to be interested in when they selected Nieto in the Rule 5 draft.

They signed three catchers and three shortstops, they are all unlikely to remain at those positions. Nunez was being talked about as a 3B last year when he signed, so some of these guys will get moved around once they are in pro ball and it is determined whether they can handle the position long term. I wouldn't read too much into the positions that they are playing at this time, if they can handle SS, they can be plugged in anywhere on the diamond.
