For info on Ibarra, see http://www.baseball-reference.com/bu...alberto_Ibarra - pretty decent prospect I think. I don't know why he's listed as a catcher as he was primarily an infielder in Cuba.

Yoannis Negrin signed with the Cubs. He was in the Liga Nica of Miami.

So how good is this Yoenis Cespedes? :shrug:
