Summary of top international signings from last year with BA rankings as we start to watch some of them play:
Francisco Morales, rhp, Venezuela (No. 12 prospect)
Brayan Gonzalez, ss, Venezuela (No. 19 prospect)
Nicolas Torres, ss, Venezuela (No. 45 prospect) - on Phillies White roster
Juan Aparicio, c, Venezuela (No. 47 prospect) - on Phillies White roster
Jose Tortolero, ss, Venezuela - on Phillies White roster
Luiggi Mujica, ss, Venezuela - on Phillies Red roster

Simon Muzzioti from the Red Sox was also technically on the list though he looks slated to go to GCL. Morales and Gonzalez are also likely headed to GCL as the top 2 new prospects.

The White team used to be team #2 and have most of the Venezuelan prospects. That appears to be the case and since all of our top signings were Venezuelan is potentially the better team though obviously the pitching staff is a big unknown. Mujica on the Red team is probably about splitting up the SS prospects for playing time.

One note from PhuturePhillies. Sixto Sanchez pitched 3 IP in XST on Thursday, so he is close to being back.

[DurhamBull]

Getting ready for the first pitch here in Asheville. It's a beautiful night for baseball!

Tromp in Lehigh Valley? If they needed an outfielder I would have thought Pullin.

[allentown]

And after 5 he has the only hit for the Iron Pigs. It's been a week and Quinn is still out, Williams in CF.

[phillychuck]

Sunday morning and still no DSL results?? They sending them by carrier pigeon?

[andyb]

Only 2 of the games are posted so far. Clearly they don't pay their interns enough.

[allentown]

Allentown pulls it out, scoring 5 runs (4 unearned) on only 5 hits and a double by Tromp the only XBH, but 7 walks. Our top guys all had fairly poor games with the bat.

[California_Dreamin]

My guess as to why it was Tromp instead of Pullin? I noticed Pullin is DHing again today and Mora is playing LF which indicates to me that Pullin may have some leg issues which keep him from playing the outfield. LHV didn't need a DH, they needed a guy who could play the outfield. Thus...Tromp.

I suspect its quite temporary and that Tromp will be back in Reading as soon as Cozens is back on the field. Still, it gives him a chance to open some eyes, which he probably did yesterday with his two hits.

[andyb]

Quinn is supposedly day to day also with a sliding injury (to his arm I think).
