Ben Badler has his projections out for all 30 teams. Does anyone have a BA account that can get that info? I am hoping for Nunez and Alfaro at least for the White Sox at this point.

 

Assuming this is the same article you're referring to:

Good read since the game was postponed

 

Has Amado Nunez probably signing with the Sox. But once again he has the Yankees taking the majority of the top 30.

That's the article...all he has is Nunez for us at the moment. I asked him and he said they are in on more guys than that...just doesnt look like any more of the top 30 guys. All you need is account to read it. You dont need a subscription.

 

Now this article is different. Has us signing Nunez and Jhoandro Alfaro(#28)

Yes he mentions these 2 plus Dominican SS Ricardo Mota. Couldn't find any info on Mota.

 

Badler now has Twins as favorites for Ynoa.

Hopefully we get some surprises too.

Zooming in on the picture that Futuresox retweeted of the Sox brass it looks like the Sox may also have signed 3 more players. Judging by the posters behind the players you have Nunez for the first one, a "Felix ------?", the catcher "Jhoandro", and "Ricky Mota?"

Haven't followed. On a lunch break so I'll check out these guys later. Is this a good haul? Which one is the best?

 

MLB.com ranked Nunez #26 and Alfaro #28. Never heard of the other two. Nunez is said to have a high offensive upside, may move to 3B. Alfaro is said to be a fairly advanced defensive catcher and his bat will need to catch up. So.....Nunez? He got them most money.

"The White Sox have signed 16-year-old Colombian catcher Jhoandro Alfaro for $750,000. The younger brother of Rangers catching prospect Jorge Alfaro, Jhoandro also has a strong arm and is a more advanced defensive catcher than his older brother was when he signed, though he doesn’t have Jorge’s raw power or speed. Alfaro, who has been training in the Dominican Republic with Rafael Montero (known as “Spilman”), has grown taller since the beginning of the year and worked hard to transform his conditioning, now checking in around 6-foot-1, 180 pounds. Some scouts felt his righthanded bat will need time to catch up to his defense. Alfaro played in the Dominican Prospect League."

July 2 signing bonuses for the new @whitesox Nunez $900k Alfaro $750k Mota $750k Mercedes $950k

 

It looks like Felix Mercedes pulled in the most money. Odd that a 17 year old 2B would get your largest deal in the international market.
