Virgil (Give me Five) Siqueiros signed with the Tabacky Farmers for a 7.3 mil bonus.  It makes sense that Charleston would sign a Cuban . This 20 year old lefty has great Control , good splits with a killer change-up. What is great about this kid is he is almost at his projections and may debut next season in the Majors. Finally a decent IFA.

The manatee's picked up this catcher for a Spring training invite and 4.1 mil. Vicente ( Van Stop) Azocar Is gonna be a Monster  Manatee. His splits and power are great . Add a Good eye and contact and you have a real good hitter. Defensivly his glove ,Arm strength and Accuracy are below average but i've seen worse. He will get a shot in the Bigs. Nice for the Price!!

If this Blue pickup had better splits he could be good!!



Don Lim
Toledo
Christian Beavers
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Seoul, KR
Position(s): SS
View Hardball Dynasty Profile


So far Don (out on a ) Lim is the biggest IFA this season. He was scooped up by the Christian Beavers for 14.7 mil , two Hail Marys and three Our Fathers. This Korean SS wil be a great leadoff hitter with great Eye ,Contact ,Blazing Speed and baserunning. He will also excell in the field with all projections in the 90's. His only weakness is a low health numbers . It will take a ton of prayers to keep him off the DL. Nice signing bkevin and GL

Eswalin Benitez
Indianapolis
Indians
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Palenque, DO
Position(s): LF
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

ardthomp and his Indy Injuns picked up this LF'er with a bonus of 9.9 mil. This is a very interesting player . When you look at his defensive numbers ,they say he will be a 1st baseman /DH only but then when i see his Sonic Speed i think maybe he could play LF . Then I look at thr great EYE, CONTACT and POWER. but then i see the really low SPLITS and i think maybe just an average hitter. Ardthomp let me know how this cat does. Could be a Conundrum type player.
