B1az3 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Idk if you guys saw the Mesa Sr. and Gaston interview, but they both came across to me exited at the possibility of all three signing with the Marlins. You can tell Miami is their preferred city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaiwanMarlins Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I believe this team have a handshake deal with all of these players,but still need to increase the pool money to make the deals done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 If we got all 3 of these guys I would love to see how people react to this all around baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Frisaro says don't rule out even more trades to acquire more pool money. Holy shit the Marlins are serious about this trio. It's greedy but it's that good kind of greedy. Getting this done would be a huge sign that Jeter ain't fucking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaiwanMarlins Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'm just enough with all the tweets that despise to this team about trying to sign these Cuba players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THRILLHO Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Not to be a wet blanket but on what basis are teams high on these guys? Don’t get me wrong, I really want the Marlins to get all three and I want them to be studs and Cuban in Miami and all that. But on occasion you see the stray remark about VV being a singles hitter and V Jr being included just to lure VV. Also Sandy is quite young from what I gather. This isn’t a critique just an honest question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, they are 100% future Hall of Famers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t a critique just an honest question. Yeah to me it seems like the main reason VV is this season's top IFA is because it's way easier to project a guy that's already 22. Many see him as at least a good 4th OF, which is more than you can say for all the other 16/17 year old IFAs. That being said obviously I want us to sign him but I'm not convinced he's immediately our best prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said obviously I want us to sign him but I'm not convinced he's immediately our best prospect. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong on this but the slot money disappears if it goes unused. So basically the prospects we moved to get this money would have been given up for nothing if we sign nobody. Are we better off signing these three guys or 6-7 other guys that are younger that command less? I’m not up on the talent pool. Obviously the interest in them extends beyond Baltimore and Miami so it would seem there is something to their potential. I also wonder if there is an element is self promotion here. Perhaps we’ve already locked them up and there is a bit of team generated hype to boost morale ahead of the signing. That’s a bit far fetched I know but just thinking or all the odd explanations Back to the other talent thought, signing more guys at a lower cost would seem to fit with what we are doing in raising our whole farm system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1az3 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 And that’s exactly why they are called prospects, you just truly don’t know how they will perform. Some have all the tanlent in the world and they cant flourish on the field, others dont look the part but become game changers. Right now we need all the talent we can get. What they end up becoming, we’ll just have to wait and see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, at the end of the day we have so many minor league teams to go around. You can’t just think about signing as many as you can because where will they play? You don’t want to dilute the development of some of your players because of playing time. Any international free anget left at this point are more bodies than talent. Mesa brother’s and Gaston are still around because their specific circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they end up becoming, we’ll just have to wait and see... One of the more intriguing aspects of this model applies to Gaston. I believe he’s 16. That’s gives the club control over some very formative years of his development as a pitcher which you would not have with a domestic kid drafted. Not a pitcher but a nice example of this is Wily Adames. The Tigers got him at 16 and started his development. The Rays got him in the Price deal as a third piece and he really blossomed in their farm. Obviously we are still sorting out our farm and if Denbo can straighten out player development it could be that those younger ones have more value. Almost like a youth academy in soccer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1az3 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 4. Orelvis Martinez*, SS, Dominican Republic -- Blue Jays ($3,500,000) 9. Osiel Rodriguez, RHP, Cuba -- Yankees It's the list of the signing bonus for other 28 prospects in the top 30,so how much were needed to sign V.V. and Gaston ? I was looking at the article yesterday. My thinking VV Mesa would want top dollar since he’s regarded as the #1 prospect, so you are looking @ 3.5M similar to Orelvis Martinez or above. Gaston i can see signing for the going rate of cuban pitchers this year, which has been 600k similar to Osiel Rodriguez or less. Mesa Jr. is the wild card here...100k-1M.

TaiwanMarlins Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I believe this team would like to finished the signing of these three Cuban prospects before the negotiations with JT,because if we could acquire all three and it will highly increasing the chance to lock up JT.
