Eliecer Bonne has signed with the Cubs, according to AZPhil. He's a 24 year old Cuban, that plays the OF. AZPhil calls him Del Valle, Silva, Cabezas, and Serrano second tier prospects, not roster filler. I have also seen his name as Eliecer Bonne Reyes, and have seen his age listed as 21, and 22 as well. So who knows? But, we did sign him.

Bonne's birthday evidently is 2/17/87 and I guess confirmation that he's signed is the fact he's now played 4 games for our DSL2 team already. Kind of odd he's down there and not in Arizona(visa issues?) considering he's thought of to be more than a Smaily Borges type guy anyway.......

Probably visa issues.

Cubs: IF Pin-Chieh Chen, Taiwan - $300,000 bonus

 

Is this guy interesting at all? Looks like he's 5 for his last 6 with a walk after going 9 for 22 over 5 games in late April. .297/.375/.396 does have some positives, but the XBH just aren't there. And that matches up almost perfectly with his brief career stats at AZ and Boise. Looks like he's played a fair amount of both LF and CF and has hit leadoff, 2 and 9. He turns 21 this summer.

 

edit: I asked this in early May and now I take a look at his numbers again and he's had a pathetic month. Maybe he's not interesting.

Frandy Do La Rosa signed for $700K

http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/2012/07/cubs-sign-no-19-international-prospect-frandy-de-la-rosa/

 

19. Frandy de la Rosa, ss, Dominican Republic

Ht.: 6-1. Wt.: 180. B-T: B-R.

 

De la Rosa is a 16-year-old who lives in Boca Chica, plays in the Dominican Prospect League and trains with Valentin Monero. Like many players at the bottom of the Top 20 and below, de la Rosa does a few things that scouts like but brings question marks. Scouts like his ability to handle the bat as a switch-hitter. He has a simple, short swing and quick hands at the plate and has shown he can barrel balls up, but he's more of a line-drive hitter than much of a power threat right now.

 

His tools beyond the bat aren't as flashy. He's not quite an average runner and he doesn't have the range or arm for shortstop, though he's made strides with his arm and hands. Teams who like him see a potential offensive-oriented second baseman, but where he ends up playing in the field remains to be seen. The Cubs have been the team most prominently linked to de la Rosa, though the Astros and White Sox are also believed to have interest.

I doubt we've got enough money left to sign him. Seattle was big on him and hasn't spent much yet at all. Texas has all their money left too.
