    Osuna is a Stocky 5-11-6-0 about 190 RHP (among the top International P in this signing period) with a live arm, his fastball sits in the low 90's that tops at mid 90's, his breaking pitches has promise, but his main pitch is his fastball. There is a lot talk that the Red Sox have heavy interest in Osuna, however his demanding 7 + figure bonus that could be as much as 2 Millions.

    Gusman 6-2- 6-3 about 170a L/L with good tools including good bat speed and power potential, good speed and defense skills, but his bat is his main tool. Its believed that his also asking for a 7 figures bonus.

    Its 5 days before the July second day, i will finish with my board before them.

      Thanks, great info. What do you think is the ceiling for either player? Are the 7+ figures bonus demands justified?
      Watching Derek Jeter make 40 defensive plays and then watching Adam Everett make 40 defensive plays at the same position is sort of like watching video of Barbara Bush dancing at the White House, and then watching Demi Moore dancing in Striptease. (Bill James)

      Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power. If he can continue to hit .260 or so, he'll be useful, and he probably has a future as a backup infielder. (Keith Law)

        With the way the market has been the last couple of years someone will pay that kind of money. I like to ad that Gusman and Sox draft pick William Jerez are some what similar players. Jerez has the fall back that he could be a LHP if the hitting doesn't come around and because he isn't a Free Agent like Gusman he would get a smaller bonus to sign, however Jerez is already 19 yrs and Gusman is 16 yrs with perhaps a higher ceiling.

          With 3 days before the July second signing day isn't very clear who will be signing with who or on what date, but one thing that is clear is that Guatemalan first baseman Dennis Hurtarte will be signing with the Pirates. Hurtarte is a switch hitter who is stronger from the left side of the plate.

            According to Baseball America the Red Sox and the Yankees are finalist to sign 16 yrs Dominican CF Manuel Marcos. Marcos 6-1 180 R/R is very athletic with + + speed has occasional power, but more of gap to gap hitter. In the field Marcos plays + defense and has a solid arm.

                I have reported of the heavy interest of the Red Sox about Mexican RHP Roberto Osuma, however the Red Sox where not among the organizations last weekend who saw Osuma throw his final tune-up before the July second signing date.

                  In a note not related to scouting indirectly but very important in player development the Red Sox and Venezuela's Margarita Braves (Of the Venezuelan Winter league) signed a agreement earlier this week that will allow the Sox to have a team on the Paralela (League for rookies) Winter league. The Red Sox have been away from Venezuela for the last few years. the agreement is for two years with options and the Red Sox also will be sending players to the Margarita Club for their regular Winter league. In addition both organizations will be working together in scouting.

                      Sorry, don't know if they are related, Pimentel is a common last name in the Dominican.

                        BA is reporting that the Red Sox could be a heavy player in Internation signing this Spring, perhaps the top dog in signing International players as has them also attached to Venezuelan RHP Jonatan Perez.

                        I don't believe that the Sox will sign both Osuma and Perez, more than likely Perez could be a fall back if they don't get Osuma. The same with that I don't belive that they will sign both Roger Gusman and Manuel Marcos, with Marcos being the fall back if they don't sign Gusman, however i could be wrong on this.

                        As when I posted my International player board i stated that those weren't the only players that where going to sign this Summer, but didn't have solid information on some of them. Baseball America is listing them.

                          The talk in the scouting industry is that the Red Sox, A's Rangers and Mets are finalist for Dominican outfielder Nomar Mazara who has + + power, which means they may be out for the running of Guzman and perhaps even Marcos, however Mazara maybe demanding a bonus higher than what Elier Hernandez (not official 3+ Milllion) got from the Royals

                            Rumours are that Seatle signed Dominican outfielder Helsin Martinez and Venezuelan outfielder Jose leal both for 2M each, if true thats way too much for Leal. Also that the Padres signed Venezuelan catcher Jose Ruiz (for 1.2 M) and that the Tigers signed Dominican third baseman Adelin Santa for $750,000 bonus.

                              Talk in the scouting industry is that the Red Sox, A's Rangers and Mets are finalist for Dominican outfielder Nomar Mazara who has + + power, which means they may be out for the running of Guzman and perhaps even Marcos, however Mazara maybe demanding a bonus higher than what Elier Hernandez (not official 3+ Milllion) got from the Royals
                              Reports out of the Dominican are that the Rangers signed Dominican Nomar Mazara for a Latin record bonus of 5 Millions dollars, breaking the bonus of 4.25 M given to pitcher Michael Ynoa by the A's.
