From May 2018. Swing is a bit long from first glance

It would be the biggest international bonus for the Red Sox in 3 years

Swing does a little bit long but to be fair I think it's safe to say he's going to get a little bit stronger at some point. He is really thin.

Oh, I know. I wasn't trying to be critical of him or anything. I moreso meant that as his obviously natural physical development is a reason I'm not worried about how his swing looks right now.

Looking forward to an impactful crop, even if it's down the road. One cause of the current state of the Sox system is self-incured penalties in '15 and '16 and lack of (prospect) payoff from big expenditures in '14 and '17.

Lira is 6'1. Good defender, doubles power.

Where there any other Red Sox players on the list and if you who were they? What is the scouting report on Miguel Bleis?

Where there any other Red Sox players on the list and if you who were they? What is the scouting report on Miguel Bleis? No other players tied to the Red Sox. His profile is that of an athletic CF with a strong arm and room to add strength which should allow his average speed and doubles power to tick up.

Besides Bleis and Lira have there been any reports of who the Red Sox have signed? Will Chaim bloom go after a lot of big money international free agents or will he do the international signing period another way?

Besides Bleis and Lira have there been any reports of who the Red Sox have signed? Will Chaim bloom go after a lot of big money international free agents or will he do the international signing period another way? For this upcoming period, Bleis is expected to sign for near or under $2M if I recall correctly. Given that we weren't linked to other signings on Badler's list, it seems pretty safe to assume that will be the biggest bonus of the period. There quite frankly isn't enough bonus $ to hand out multiple bonuses of that magnitude. If Bleis does sign for close to $2M that will be the biggest bonus since the 2017-2018 period. That said, Bloom has nothing to do with Bleis or any other bigger signings for this upcoming period. Keep in mind that the higher bonus types may have agreed with a team a couple of years ago. Bloom really has nothing to do with this incoming class. Also, Bloom isn't an international scout or anything like that, so I imagine even moving forward he will put his trust in Eddie Romero and everyone else overseeing international operations to handle things the way they've done so in the past few years. Bloom might have a general philosophy as how to best allocate the bonus money (e.g., avoid big bonus types, spread $ among greater number of 50K-500K bonus types), but I can't imagine he will ever have much of a role in specific player evaluations/acquisitions. Final point -- we're probably moving to an international draft anyways, so any strategy/philosophy regarding international spending may be a moot point soon.

What’s the scouting report on Enderson Lira and was he one of the highest singing bonuses expected for catchers?

So in Bleis' case he is currently 15 and would have agreed to a deal a few years ago.....Does anyone else find it absurd that teams are committing millions of dollars to 12yo's? On a personal level watching my two boys over the years, I have had the opportunity to see a lot of youth baseball from tee-ball all the way through the college level. The large majority of kids who were the best players in Little League (12yo) didn't even make the high school team, never mind play college or professionally. Most of the 12yo standout players hit puberty before their counter parts. When things evened out a few years later all of a sudden they weren't able to dominate anyone anymore. While I agree with the long swing observation, I am not suggesting Bleis is not a good player. He might well be worth $2M. I just can't believe that signing 12yo's has a very good success rate.

I do. There should have been some kind of rule 4 type draft for players in the carribean to eliminate fraud, buscones and all the types of nonsense you just mentioned years ago. I have been saying this for years. It's a corrupt market where nothing is what it seems and a draft is the only way to stop it.
Asian area IFA's don't seem to be a problem, but the ones in our own backyard are.

Asian area IFA's don't seem to be a problem, but the ones in our own backyard are. I don't think the solution is that simple without screwing over a bunch of kids. There are several extreme poverty countries that produce baseball players. If there's a draft, what is the motivation for running academies where the kids get food and an education ?

MLB itself could take over several team owned academies, hire scouts to tour nations looking for kids in the 16+ YO range to fill them. I see no problem doing that and the game itself purchasing said academies from the teams who had them.
Running them could be done by using wasted revenue sharing dollars, some portion of tv revenue.. Various ways to pay and believe it would eliminate a lot of the fraud which has gone on for years.

Unfortunately, that difference is staggering. It's not just the team academies, there are hundreds of schools which are operating privately. A lot of those are bad but bad is better than none. We've put candy out there and now we are likely to pull in the candy.
