INTERNATIONALS

Joakim Manuel Scottsdale Shock Squad Age: 22 B/T: R/R Born: Cambiaso, DO Position(s): P (SP1) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

They signed this Wild Thing for 2 million. With a low control rating he will walk/hit alot of batters.

Benito Sierra Tampa Bay Stars Age: 18 B/T: L/L Born: Villa Gonzalez, DO Position(s): P (LRB) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

AA maybe AAA. A visit from the DITR ferry is needed.

York Milone Tampa Bay Stars Age: 18 B/T: S/R Born: Sheffield, UK Position(s): P (ClA) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

This 3.4 million English import could make a good M L Closer. It will take some luck and a big health budget tho.

Pascual Cabrera San Francisco Kickapoos Age: 18 B/T: R/R Born: Villa Union, MX Position(s): 3B View Hardball Dynasty Profile

This Hombre was signed for 5 million. He will hit with great splits. But his defensive numbers may put him in RF/LF.

Eduardo Benavente Hartford Crushers Age: 18 B/T: R/R Born: Chepo, PA Position(s): P (none) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Needs a small DITR Bump to make the bigs.

Richard Chong Hartford Crushers Age: 18 B/T: R/R Born: Kobe, JP Position(s): LF/1B/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

May make it to High A

Vasco Silva Louisville Howlers Age: 18 B/T: S/R Born: Los Llanos, DO Position(s): P (SP1) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

1.5 million and a S/T invite signed this AAA pitcher. Needs a bump on his splits .

Brian Martin Vancouver Totems Age: 18 B/T: S/R Born: Yokosuka, JP Position(s): RF/1B/LF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

It took 6 million and a M L Contract to sign this Youngster. While he will hit and steal bases in the Majors. His poor glove work will hurt him. No GG for this Japanese Import.

Hipolito Tavarez Syracuse Moose Age: 20 B/T: S/R Born: Cotui, DO Position(s): SS View Hardball Dynasty Profile

A defensive stud no doubt, But his hitting will keep him from the majors.

Victor Ozuna San Diego Salmonbellies Age: 21 B/T: L/R Born: San Cristobal, DO Position(s): SS View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Victor " Save The" Ozuna signed for 20.4 million and 327k a year. This Silver Slugger can do it all. Look for him in the Home Run Derby.

Kenshin Yoshii Vancouver Totems Age: 18 B/T: R/R Born: Saigon, VN Position(s): P (ClA) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

I signed this Vietmanese player for 12.9 million and 327k a year. He should be my future Closer/Setup man.
