Earlier today the Atlanta Tartans signed 18 year old Dominican pitching prospect Carlos Oropesa.
Oropesa agreed to a Tartan record $11.7 Million signing bonus and was then immediately assigned to Rookie League roster.
While Oropesa is likely several years away from the big leagues he adds depth to the Tartans starting pitching prospect pool. He impressed the Tartans scouts with dominance against left handed hitters and great control. He possess three quality pitches a 4-seam fastball, sinker, and change-up.

Strategic Insight
(This area of the blog will be used to record key insights learned in the Branch Rickey World.)
In no specific order:
1.) Don't under estimate the value of a good coaching staff, they can turn a dud into a competitive squad, etc.
2.) Pitching settings are one of the most important controls in the game: particularly the Call Bullpen setting, which can dramatically improve any pitchers performance (use it to reward good ERAs/WHIPs and improve bad ones).
3.) Pick a strategy that is unique and one that you can live with. (If you are in for the long haul then consider going young early, or you want to earn a free season get big league talent, just make sure you won't have regrets when your minor league system sucks.)
