Cubs Sign No. 19 International Prospect Frandy De La Rosa
"The Cubs have signed Frandy de la Rosa, the No. 19 international prospect for July 2, for $700,000. De la Rosa, a 16-year-old Dominican shortstop, is 6-foot-1, 180 pounds and has a smooth swing from both sides of the plate. He trained with Valentin Monero and played in the Dominican Prospect League. Baseball America subscribers can read a complete scouting report on de la Rosa" Does anyone have any scouting report on this kid. 700K bonus is not small, but not entirely huge. Is this kid expected to do anything? I know Castro was not expected to light up the world, but that worked out.
