With the DSL schedule almost over, just want to thank for including their info. Its easy to undervalue the Latin talent pipeline since there are no draft picks in the news and it all seems sub rosa.
I was hoping for a bit of a DSL flavor to our list of prospects from guys like Wuillys Bravo (20 yr old), Yunior Novoa (22), Atahualpa Severino (22) and Edulin Abreu (23). For them to become prospects, thought they’d have to make it to Hagerstown and do well, because of their ages, especially the latter 3.
Who do you see from this year’s DSL players being add to your top prospect list?

Jake Smolinski and Shane Erb get placed on the minor league 60-day DL.
The DSL Nats 1 beat the DSL Nats 2 7-0 (box). Looks like they went with all the good pitchers as both Jorge Urena and Federico Tanco pitched.
