Actually played in the DSL last year and most likely will be in the AZL (equivelent of the GCL) this year.

Parejo spends about 80% of the game looking in the stands and talking to people behind the dugout. Sure, he hit a couple hrs, but other than that he was abysmal.

Correct, that was Wagner Mateo. (Who, btw, has never played a minor-league game. The eye issues were real.)

That isn’t the Mateo we signed as a LA FA.

Mateo may not be doing real hot but he is only 20 y.o.. One of the youngest players in the league.

Mateo was a 20th round draft pick out of Puerto Rico in 2008.

Luis Mateo’s not looking too great either – think he was the big LA sign from 2 years back wasn’t he?

But like you say – you only need to “hit” on one in every 5 or 6 of these “big money” signings to make it very profitable.

Parejo got plenty of at bats and did not hit much. Its good that Vuch is purging some of the no-hopers.
