Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Based on one game?

No, not at all.

His whole argument a month ago was that the Indians won the trade because Zimmer had 40 successful MLB plate appearances, and Frazier was still in AAA.

I said then, and still say now, that both teams got exactly what they wanted.

You ever remember them being so aggressive in the opening days of IFA?

New Latin American scouting dept really seems to be taking a new approach.

Nope. Most money I've seen them shell out ever too. Almost 3 million just for Valera and Bracho.

Valera is the highest rated guy I've seen them sign too, at least since I've followed the IFA process.

Well there Andrew Miller too, you're leaving him out (conveniently).

Not sure why you're rehashing a great trade for the tribe and trying to minimize it for them.

Not leaving Miller out at all.

Also, not minimalizing it for them. We got exactly what we wanted! It was a great trade for us!

It was a great trade for the Yankees, too, and that doesn't make it any less of a trade for us!
 
So what's the deal with the International Prospects? They continue to play in their respective countries until they're ready for the big leagues, or they come over to our farm systems, or something else? Unfamiliar with the traditional process.

Honestly I agree with D-Wreck, both teams ended up winning in the long run. We won't know until we see what becomes of the three arms we traded to the yankees, but if those three guys and Frazier make it into the bigs/stay in the bigs (which is a high probability) then the Yankees would have won as well since they did what they needed to do.

They have actually done a fairly good job overall in that department when it comes to international signings since they keep finding diamonds in the rough. If I remember correctly Ramirez, Gonzalez, Salazar, Mejia, Yandy and Urshela are all international signings for us.

Many will stay and develop in the Dominican/Venezuela Summer League for now, but those are Indians minor league affiliates.

They can be brought to the states at any point.
