2013 International Signings

There's a quote that says the two pitchers have "tarter traits." I know it's just a typo, but I'd like to see us adopt this as technical term, and debate whether Workman, de la Rosa, and Britton have tarter traits or should be in the bullpen. This sounds a little fishy...

I personally love what the Sox did with shaking up our Latin/international department. You feel just how reenergized it is. For what it's worth the dsl team is posting good numbers and people probably say it doesn't mean much but the other years I believe they have struggled. Also other teams value our low level guys .
I hope we can strike it rich in Cuba like these other teams. I know we are trying.

According to Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN we are among four teams left to sign Alexander Guerrero. He's 26 year old Cuban SS.

A contract equivalent to a middle reliever for MAG. It would be interesting to get a detailed medical report on his shoulder.

So 26-year-old Cuban defector Alexander Guerrero's five-year, $32m deal with the Dodgers fell though, and he's switched agents and is now represented by Scott Boras. Now, noted Boras mouthpiece Jon Heyman has a puff piece up where he says that the Red Sox, Reds, Rangers and Giants are among the teams interested in signing Guerrero. This is pretty bald-faced buffoonery from Heyman, as all of those teams are stocked with starting-caliber infielders [Red Sox (Pedroia/Bogaerts/Middlebrooks), Reds (Phillips, Cozart, Frazier), Rangers (Kinsler, Andrus, Beltre, Profar), and Giants (Scutaro, Crawford, Sandoval)].

Several teams -- believed to include the Red Sox, Giants, Rangers, Reds and Dodgers -- are said to be in the running for free agent Cuban infielder Alex Guerrero. At least seven teams are said to have made bids for the power-hitting middle infielder. Jon Heyman

Jon HeymanAgain, Heyman is almost certainly just a mouthpiece for Boras in trying to drum up a market for Guerrero. Of those teams, only the Dodgers have anything even close to an opening at 2B, which is where Guerrero projects to play. The Red Sox and Rangers in particular have strong starters at each of 2B/SS/3B.

Like a dream. Fabian still not quite believe the fact that it was signed by the Boston Red Sox, a Major League Baseball who is on television since I started to like the story of baseball, back when I was eight, not knowing that one ten years later it would begin to build this road. When a player signs a professional team, it is a legal act in which the team sports rights acquired under the Indenture, and from there begins a process that shape the future club professional ballplayer to finally integrate MLB team. So Fabian go to Dominican Republic, heading to depart this October 6 after the dream of becoming a professional category with the Red Sox. To get here, this baseball player had to give their own fly balls to the difficulty and make the road by walking, playing with Selection Valley since age 14, when he went to live in El Cerrito, Valle, to Palmyra, the municipality that was born 18 years ago. Since then, it has never left home at all, but neither has missed his perseverance. At home, in which 11 people live, her mother, Yolanda Garcia, is the engine of encouragement to the three children in the family: Carlos Andres, John Miller and Fabian Andres, all baseball lovers from Fabian started the process for be signed by a team, at age 15. ... Fabian, who is third base or infielder ... In Fabian's house, baseball was not very well at first. The little athlete just was 8 when he met 'the sport of hot ball' in the midst of physical education classes in school José Celestino Mutis of El Cerrito, and after a couple of invitations to play for the school team, Fabian then chose to stay to play every evening, as until now it has always done. Doña Yolanda, her mother did not believe that his love for baseball was to prosper, but neither walked away from the sport. Now, with the passage of time, she is the best motivator that has Fabián Andrés to persevere in the sport, she says is of patience and dedication, as at age 14 does evening after evening, after leaving study for dressing of cap and glove and placed at third base. In honor of all the effort that made his mother to bring up the home, Fabian made a promise that expects to meet soon, the of giving a house with the first earnings to give you professional baseball, now playing with the team of your choice . ... Nieva can hit so well with the left and to the right, and to catch the ball at third base is strong right profile, powers that make a player multifunctional, fast and effective in both at-bats and reception and launch. ... A month ago, Nieva got the call to integrate youth Colombia national team compete in the World category in Chinese Taipei, where the tricolor was not his best performance, even if the vallecaucano was one of the best hitters in the national team. During the championship, Nieva was observed by entrepreneurs of the great teams of professional baseball, and highlighted as in Cali already did with your profile ambidextrous, bat their power and effectiveness of his pitches. Arriving in Cali, Fabián Andrés Nieva Garcia was called to stamp his name on the contract between him and the Boston Red Sox for the next few years with a vocational training program in Dominican Republic and with the option of linking to the Major Leagues . So this October 6 will leave the Central American country with the illusion stronger than ever to fulfill his dream, to get to the majors in one of the best teams, like Boston Red Sox, which already were their compatriots Jackie Gutierrez, Edgar Renteria and Orlando Cabrera.

Note:
* Apparently he has been following the Red Sox on TV since he was 8.
* He'll travel to D.R in October. I guess thats what they call the D.R Instructional League.
* Plays 3B/INF, Switch hitter
Thats what i found most interesting. It did say that he comes form a humble background, lives with 11 other people. His mom wasn't too sure if Baseball was gonna bring him anything but he didn't give up.
