OT: Rick- For You: he next Cespedes, Puig? Giants: Cuban Player Signed

[Mattingly23NY]

Giants Sign Daniel Carbonell

By Mark Polishuk [June 16, 2014 at 12:45pm CDT]
12:45pm: Carbonell will earn $1MM in a signing bonus, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle (Twitter link).* He’ll earn $500K, $525K, $550K and $600K in each respective year of the four-year contract, and at least the first year of the deal is a split contract.

Also from Schulman (Twitter links), Giants VP/assistant GM Bobby Evans said that Carbonell is “more of a project” than other high-profile Cuban outfielders such as Yasiel Puig and Yoenis Cespedes.* The club doesn’t expect Carbonell to reach the majors in 2014.

12:10pm: The Giants have signed Cuban outfielder Daniel Carbonell to a Major League contract, the club announced.* Carbonell will earn a guaranteed $3.5MM in the four-year deal, MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez reports, and the 23-year-old outfielder can earn another $3.5MM in bonuses.* Because he signed before July 2, Carbonell’s bonus will not count against San Francisco’s international draft pool.* Carbonell is represented by the Culture 39 agency.

Carbonell was rumored to be choosing between five suitors who were offering contracts of five-to-seven years in length, though he managed to find his desired four-year deal in taking the Giants’ offer.* The 6’3?, 196-pound Carbonell is now on the Giants’ 40-man roster and he’ll report to camp in Arizona once he obtains his work visa, the team said.

In his most recent season for Camaguey, Carbonell hit .298/.369/.449 with five homers, 40 runs scored and 28 steals (in 29 attempts) over 223 PA.* Baseball America’s Ben Badler has the scouting breakdown on Carbonell, with talent evaluators praising his speed and defensive potential, though his hitting is very raw.

Yeah Rob thanks. I read about this in today's paper. Right now I'm concerned with the poor play of the Giants recently. Losing 6 of 7 & losing 3 games in the standings. They need to get there shit together.

my pleasure.....over the last 20 years, the NL West too often has looked at times, like no team wants to win this division....a ton of talent, that rarely seems to play at a consistent high level of play....too many years in the past, this was considered the .500 wins all divison...

I meant to add, other Cuban born Players, who are/were elite:

Aroldis Chapman
Jose Abreu
Jose Fernandez
Aleixei Ramirez


and

El Duque (Orlando Hernandez)
Tony Oliva
Tony Perez
Campy Campaneris
Mike Cuellar
Cookie Rojas
Minnie Rojas

and a ton of others:

I won't mention any known Roiders....

They still have the best record in baseball & a 6 1/2 game lead over the bums but it was 9 1/2 just over a week ago.

The trend for a western sports team winning it all is compelling this year. Seahawks, Kings, Spurs...Giants?

Amen, what a week its been, for Victory Parades, and sadly enough, losses also.

One Veteran's future is now going to be cemented in the HOF, (T. Duncan). Another athlete, a young Goalie, pursues future status as a Great, perhaps another Roy, Brodeur, Hasek,...???..... maybe a future HOF'er, (too early in his career to tell), Jonathan Quick is legit...!

Never quit seen a Goalie do the splits like Quick. Roy had his Butterfly, Marty his extended Butterfly/front-on-Splits, Quick- a pure split; bar to bar...!
