Oooooohhh…Jose Pujols stateside.
Also catcher Deivy Grullon, failed to put it in the above listing .
The interesting new names are Lewis Alezones (Venezuelan pitcher) and Willerker Isava. Isava must have been one of the three extra LA prospects signed that first week. If I recall correctly there were no pitchers mentioned in that group, so Alezones may be a new more recent signing.

Pujols (no relation to the Angels slugger) was ranked the 20th-best international prospect by Baseball America. Agostinelli also signed Deivi Grullon, rated as the 15th best, for $575,000. The 16-year-old Dominican catcher has “a plus major-league arm right now,” Agostinelli said. “The tools are all there,” he said. “He’s a strong, strong kid. His swing needs revamping.” Agostinelli was also high on a Venezuelan shortstop named Willerker Isava, who signed for $200,000. Agostinelli said the 16-year-old could have signed for more than $1 million if his bat was stronger. “He’s that good defensively,” Agostinelli said.
As for Pujols, Agostinelli said he reminds him of Domingo Santana, a former Phillies prospect used in the package to acquire Hunter Pence. He is 6-foot-4 and has yet to fill out. “Obviously, we’re dreaming a lot,” Agostinelli said. “But, boy, he can really put a charge on a ball. He took one of the most impressive batting practices I’ve ever seen.”
Monday the 24th starts the FIL.

No Roman Quinn?
Aren’t they moving Pullin to second base?
Yes, in the link provided by Matt above, it states he’s moving to 2B. Gregg probably just put him where he played in the summer.
Also Dieber Olivera, 3B
Looks like the first part up and deleted itself for no reason. Also:
Lewis Alezones, RHP, Deivy Grullon, C, Roman Quinn INF
Who’s going to give us updates? Is Slash still in FL?
I’ll be leaving next week for the offseason. Might get to catch a little bit of the first game here.

I’m actually going to be in St Petersburg for a few days next month on Honeymoon. I’m going to try and check out a game while I’m there.
Hope you can get a ‘kitchen pass’.
Not FIL-related, but I was just going through the rosters of the WBC teams. Good handful of current and former Phillies prospects. http://web.worldbaseballclassic.com/index.jsp
Canada: Jay Johnson, Tyson Gillies, Chris Kissock (Hey he found a job)
Great Britain: Albert Cartwright
Czech Republic: Marek Minarik
Germany: Aaron Altherr, Mike Bolsenbroek (blast from the past)
I imagine there will be more once the rest of the rosters come out.
freddy zorilla with a salami in the 1st and walter throwing a no-no after 5. anyone down there on opening day of instructs that can dispute my hopes?
