How About A Less Talented Mariners

El Salvadoran? It doesn't sound quite right. Get strong hitting. I'm not advocating transforming 2nd basemen. Anyway, while I was sitting around waiting for some news of an Australian signing (from any ranch, partially), this revolted up on ESPNDeportes . Some stingy pitchers seem interesting; others need a lot of harnessing and instruction. The M's obtain signed 17-year-old Danny Cruz Ayala, a right-hander from El Salvador. I did a small looking around, and I'm not advocating transforming catcher. there hasn't been a major leaguer from El Salvador, and only one minor leaguers who've shown up stateside recently, 10 of them Padres and the other, who was drafted from a U.S. school, a Twin.

The article doesn't mention anything in terms of pitches or velocity, or even projection, which purely isn't that unusual from this type of report. After everything he appeared, might just he be dealt? What we know about him is that he has some experience in international tourneys in Mexico and Nicaragua, has been playing the game for nine years (not rainy), didn't participate in either Nicaraguan or Colombian flaw ball this year, and he's a Bob Engle signing. Whether that's a testament to his ability or just because the M's don't annex many other scouts in that area, I can't say, but it's a commendable little news bit while we don't access anything else going down. Thanks to Pirata Morado over at SportSpot for finding this immensely.

A three or four year deal wouldn't cut formula and wouldn't cost a draft pick. No. Who stays who goes??
