I know it'll be a while before he helps, but hopefully we can keep loading up on young talent.

July 2nd should be the big day.

Yes, this is whom I was speaking of in a previous post. He is considered one of the top 3 international prospects in this year's "class". In fact, some scouts are saying that the big 3 this year are better than the big 3 of last yearing which included our Rodreguez kid. A BA article I read (cant seem to locate it now) reported that we are front runners for him at this time but there are a few reports on the Cards that are starting to leak out. It's not my money so easy for me to say but I wouldnt mind going $4.5 mil for this guy if all the hype is true.

Looks like the Cards will be our biggest competition.

No Mateo for us

Not a big loss with Thomas Neal and Roger Kieschnick rising soon. Plus we still have Rodriguez as a long term project.
