    Well since I like that lineup a lot...
    No how, no fucking way.

    Now edit your post and put in Alvarez and Jorge Hernandez too.

    They would've been subject to the same if Yoan Lopez had picked them over the Diamondbacks.

    Alvarez? The 18 year old righty?

    not even sure if he's worked for anybody yet. They really wanted to add Lopez's arm to the farm, so maybe they'll have that level of interest in Alvarez? Its early in the process for him.


    Olivera still hasn't been cleared yet, btw

    Alvarez' body frame/delivery reminds me of Yordano Ventura.

    Makes sense. Hopefully he doesn't turn down more money for the quicker rout to the majors like Lopez did

    He's 18, one would think he is around 2 years away. He tops out at around 98 at 18 years old, one would think that would increase when he gets a little older.

    It may be longer than 2 years with us. Unless they're gonna tell me that he's more advanced than Captain Hook

    Moncada sounds special. But when I hear of Olivera my mind instantly goes to the Guerrero. I realize that's not the best logic to use but he just seems like another throwaway like Arruba and Guerrero.

    Apparently his d isn't guerrero bad. But the 29 years old thing is a concern, I mean what took so long for him to want to come to MLB?

    Everything is relative. The Earth is very near the Sun. As compared to Pluto.

    Zero. Olivera is way better. RT @Tommy_Blackjack some concern among Dodger fans Hector Olivera could be another Alex Guerrero. How valid?
    Ben Badler @BenBadler · 27m27 minutes ago
    For reference, this is my report on Alexander Guerrero before he signed. Scouts I spoke with didn't like him much: http://bit.ly/18BQx5y
    Ben Badler @BenBadler · 26m26 minutes ago
    Timetable seems about normal. Should come any day RT @davwms Ben, any word on what the holdup is with MLB about making Olivera a free agent?
    Ben Badler @BenBadler · 23m23 minutes ago
    It would not surprise me if they signed both of them RT @MikeBeanX more likely to happen oliveria on the dodgers or moncada?
    Ben Badler @BenBadler · 7h7 hours ago
    Analysis, video and key teams at Hector Olivera's showcase. Word is his asking price will be Rusney Castillo money: http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/hector-olivera-shines-final-showcase/…

    RE: the last one, I am on the fence about giving him that much.
