July 2, 2019 International Signing Period

[andyb]

The 250 was Corey Dickerson?

Yes. Trade deadline back in July of 2019. I think the moves before that were in the 2018-2019 period where we added some space (Lenin Rodriguez to the Orioles!) to help get Josh Gessner.

Julio's list back in February had 34 names so we are missing one somewhere.

I actually have 37 names now - and I just went back through the mlb.com transactions lists and verified the signing dates of each of them.

I suspect that Jason Lott may not "count," given that he signed at age 25 - but even then, I find 36 signings listed, not 35.

We are going to be misspelling those Curacao names a lot if they become good prospects.

[schillingfan]

Some of the Venezuelans have first names I’ve never seen before either. We must have assigned a scout to Curacao.

This is about the most comprehensive list of scouts i've ever seen https://www.philliesbaseballfan.com/post/6-7-2020-the-scouting-team

The list of scouts is more impressive than the talent they've signed.

Though I'm not convinced "Youngster Wang" is a real person scouting Taiwan.

[schillingfan]

Thanks. Fascinating how many jobs there are, and apparently they do have a scout for Curaçao.

[zambonir]

Who knows how many of them still have jobs now (or a month from now). I mean, in some cases on that list we actually do know.
