Cardinals in agreement with 10th rank Int prospect

[82birds]

This is what is most encouraging to me about Cardinal plans in the future. they are going full in in International market.

not to doubt you Huge, but how do you know they are going full in? Did you read/hear that?

Reading between the lines 62. In past years our trades involved relinquishing International $s. This year we've been accumulating them. This large commitment simply affirmed my theory. The signing of Padilla and Rodriguez as well. i think Chaim and his beloved minions are in a bigger hurry than we give them credit for....

well, I hope you are right.

Rodriguez was a normal run of the mill signing for the Cards. I think he was only $300K bonus. I think Padilla was under 1M, too (not totally sure around $750K?)

Strop, Reiner Lopez, and Branneli Franco are examples of Big Bonus signings...usually guys in the Top 30 of their signing class. Still waiting on all 3 take off...I hope next season is much better.

Lebron, Lucena and one Guribe made it to the States today with the FCL promotion. I doubt they see action with Palm Beach this year, but it's great they have access to Roger Dean like Padilla and Rodriguez did last year.
