The biggest Latin American signing, in terms of bonus, in Pirates’ history had a spotty debut as a 17-year old in the Venezuelan Summer League, though he was very good in June, hitting .381/.452/.540 before tailing off. He’s another one in the “extremely young and worth watching” vein.
July 2010 update: Still highly regarded, but I’m keeping him low on the list until he plays in the States. He hasn’t played anywhere yet in 2010, so it’s hard to get a handle on him.
