I wonder if there is some version of semi-pro leagues in the Dominican to give guys a chance who might be late bloomers, though there is no money in that I guess.

Hey, there's no money in playing in the DSL (in and of itself) either.

What I’m imagining is the system doesn’t allow for signing bonuses for a guy who signs, is released, and then develops into something prospect worthy to give players a financial incentive to keep trying- at least not that I’ve ever heard of.

RHP Deiry Gonzalez assigned to FCL Phillies from DSL Phillies Red.
C Anderson Araujo assigned to FCL Phillies from DSL Phillies Red.
SS Romeli Espinosa assigned to FCL Phillies from DSL Phillies White.

Note these 3 transactions are clearly FCL promotions of some of the better DSL prospects from last year. There will probably be a few more, but these are certain.
