    • Blue Jays Sign Franklin Barreto

    FRIDAY: Barreto obtained a $1.45MM bonus, ESPN.com's Keith Law reports (on Twitter).  Luis Castillo obtained an $800K bonus from Toronto, Law adds.

    MONDAY: The Blue Jays have signed Venezuelan shortstop/centerfielder Franklin Barreto, according to Ben Badler of Baseball America.  The 5'9", 175-pound prospect is Baseball America's top-ranked international prospect in the July 2nd class.  Terms of the deal are not yet known but Barreto had been expected to sign with the Blue Jays for nearly $2MM.

    Badler writes that few amateurs have ever matched the 16-year-old's history of dominance representing Venezuela in international competitions.  Several teams had Barreto as the No. 1 player on their board and some scouts project him as a future plus hitter.  Most teams, however, don't expect him to stick and shortstop and expect to see him wind up in centerfield.

    TORONTO

    Omar Vizquel signed with the Seattle Mariners for $2,500 US in 1984.

    Henderson Alvarez was given a $55,000 bonus by the Blue Jays in 2006.

    And on Tuesday, the first day international players could be signed, Ismael Cruz, head of Latin American operations, signed 16-year-old Venezuelan Franklin Barreto for $2 million, according to Baseball America's Ben Badler.

    "I heard it was $1.7 million, I saw it in a Venezuelan paper," said Alvarez with the help of translator, Jays coach Luis Rivera.

    Alvarez is from Valencia, and Barreto from Miranda. 

    Two years ago, Alvarez saw Barreto at a tryout camp.

    "It's criminal the way he swings the bat," Alvarez said. "He can hit for power and has a real good arm."

    Heading into signing day, Barreto was ranked the No. 1 prospect by Baseball America. 

    "I was happy with my bonus, I wanted a chance to play," said Vizquel. "Times change. The year I signed, the largest bonus was $12,000 the California Angels gave outfielder Miguel Garcia. They later made him a pitcher."

    Garcia appeared in 14 games with the Angels and the Pittsburgh Pirates, playing his final season at triple-A Ottawa in 1995.

    Vizquel is scheduled to retire at the end of the this season, 18 seasons after Garcia pitched his last game. Down the road, Vizquel will be honoured in Cooperstown.

    "Maybe I could have held out, asked for more money," Alvarez said. "But bonus money does not make you a big-leaguer."

    Wow. 

    Alvarez turned 22 in April, but has wisdom beyond his years.

    Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau said the same a few years ago when Canadian players refused to sign for the slot money offered, pointing out "you make your money in the majors."
