    For starters, it should be someone who's actually been to prison. Knowing this group, I assume that's everyone except Shaw.

    It is!

    I actually talked to him about it today. He had been playing independent ball for the last few years and he's super stoked to be back in the minors. I'm super happy for him.

    He'll likely never get a cup of coffee but stranger things have happened. Either way, it's awesome to see him back with us.

    I know you wouldn't, but please don't mess with my sig, it's a tribute to a fallen Dodger fan, by all accounts one of the nicest people on earth, who died before his time.

    I was wondering what they were too...kinda look like giant pumpkin heads, but that wouldn't make any sense.

    • Sixteen-year-old Cuban outfielder Lazaro Armenteros held a showcase for scouts on January 8th and “early returns…have been mixed at best,” ESPN.com’s Eric Longenhagen tweets. Several sources described Armenteros as “unable to play center field” and “too muscular & stiff,” though he did receive a very good grade of between 6-7 (based on the scouting grading scale of 2-8) on his running. Between 150-200 scouts were expected to attend his showcase, and one veteran scout even cited such names as Willie Mays and Bo Jackson to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale last month in terms of comparable power and speed, though the caveat that Armenteros was still quite “young and raw” in his ability. There has been quite a bit of speculation about the phenom known as “Lazarito,” as this was the first time MLB scouts had been able to see him in any sort of baseball activity since the summer of 2014. It isn’t yet known if Lazarito will be cleared to sign with a Major League team during this international signing period or the next (which begins on July 2).

    Wow...described as Willy Mays and Bo Jackson-like power and speed after a showcase of a day? Maybe it's me, but does anyone else agree that these kind of comparisons, are just a little over the top ? Just a wee bit?
    Maybe the guy is, after all is said and done, but Mays and Jackson...damn...

    funnier too since i'm guessing most of the guys heaping that praise never says mays or perhaps even bo
    comparing an unproven prospect to two once-in-a-generation type players is, at the very least, irresponsible

    Yeah that's crazy talk, don't get why so many analysts have to do that and then you force fans to have unrealistic expectations. It's like on draft day, every left handed outfielder who is athletic is compared to Ken Griffey Jr. , every left handed starter is Kershaw or Sale, every short dude is Pedroia

    Why not just say the dude is very athletic with swing and miss stuff, like a BJ Upton, Joc Pederson. Put some realistic expectations on these kids or else they're destined to be let downs
