Dummies.

The key is to not drop both games at home to the sucko Clevelands. Looking back over April, it's getting swept by the Royals and the Indians and dropping 3/4 to the stinko Pirates that chaps my ass. win 2/3 of those games and the team 24-15, which is pretty awesome. Even winning 4 of those 9 gets you to a league leading 22-17.

I know none of those teams are really bad, but still.

They didn't get swept by the Royals

Can someone explain this to me? Yesterday was the first instance of a ball he should have gotten to, that I've seen. And he's had some tough catches at the wall and strong throws

In any case, looks like he's gonna need to start hitting to hold Ruf off

And you're a gay.

Supposedly he's a right handed power-hitting outfielder. 17, signed to a 7-year minor league contract. I like it.

Is he hot?

You be the judge (pretty sure he's the one on the right)

Whoa...we got Giancarlo!!!

From MLBTradeRumors...

The Phillies have signed 17-year-old German outfielder Julsan Kamara to a seven-year minor league contract, writes Stefan Muller of Mister-Baseball.com (hat tip: Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker).

Kamara is considered one of Germany's best prospects. The right-handed swinger competed in last winter's International Power Showcase at Marlins Park in Miami, is a member of the German Junior National Team, and attended the MLB European Academy in Tirrenia, Italy.

Germany doesn't have a large contingent of players in Major League Baseball, but Muller lists six current players to sign out of Germany, including Donald Lutz (Reds), Max Kepler and Markus Solbach (Twins), Kai Gronauer (Mets) and Daniel Thieben (Mariners). Of that group, only Lutz has reached the Major Leagues, though Kepler currently ranks 10th among Twins' prospects, per Baseball America.

The international market is not one that Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. delves into with much frequency, as can be seen in MLBTR's Transaction Tracker. The last international signing for the Phils on record at MLBTR is Venezuelan outfielder Carlos Tocci for a $759K bonus back in 2011.

Take it to the offseason soccer transactions thread.
