    His hip/front foot swivel looks really awkward

    6th round pick Joey Curletta does something similar. Skip to 2:49

    Um. Okay. He's not gonna be Vald Guerrero. Yeah right.
    I'm having a hard time getting stoked about anything lately let alone signing a guy ive never heard of to a 40 million dollar deal. Is it cool we are back in on international signings? Sure. But this wave of Cuban players makes it feel like it's just another one.

    People are pessimistic, but the reality is he's a guy who has plus speed, a plus arm and plus-plus power potential. He also doesn't K much. His swing is unorthodox and a lot of people are making a big deal about that, so we'll see, but the raw potential is there, and big time.

    • ESPN.com’s Keith Law suggests the Dodgers’ investment in Cuban outfielder Yasel Puig “is a bizarre overreaction to the upcoming international spending cap.” The Dodgers and the outfielder agreed to terms on a seven-year, $42MM contract earlier today.

    Hmm, "He's raw, but his natural abilities get a lot done" sounds familiar.

    My same thoughts. He didn't know shit about him, asked a few sources who I'm sure didn't know much either and then just posted heresay. I trust Logan and co or whoever is in charge of international scouting.
