Anyone know about this guy?

Not really sure where to put this, but the draft forum seemed most appropriate.

 

 

 

 

BP's Kiley McDaniel is reporting that the Brewers are, along with the Giants and Indians, favorites to sign the 6'4"/195 Pena. He's being compared to Jermaine Dye and

Juan Gonzalez and wowed the scouts last month in a showcase against the Canadian Junior National Team when he homered off Jake Eliopoulos (a top-three rounds

draft talent). McDaniel has Pena as the sixth-best international prospect this signing year and says that Pena's expected bonus has increased from $500K to

$1M-$1.5M in the last couple weeks. Happily, McDaniel has video of Pena

hitting.

 

 

 

 

McDaniel also has the Brewers, along with the Rangers and Pirates, as favorites to sign 6'5"/210 1B Jacob Beltre, the 16th-rated prospect, who is

expected to command a $400K-$600K bonus.

In addition to the thread in the draft forum pretendastronaut linked, this thread is following the International Free Agency period and has some discussion on the Pena signing as well. To avoid too many threads popping up about the topic, this one is locked.
