Thanks guys, always enjoy reading about minor leagues prospects. Where do you see Denzer Guzman listed?

Last year, July 2 signings: Arol Vera, ss, Venezuela Adrian Placencia, ss, Dominican Republic Jose Bonilla, ss, Dominican Republic Adrian Pena, rhp, Venezuela Leonar Garcia, lhp, Venezuela Jeremy Villahermosa, c, Venezuela Gabriel Rodriguez, c, Venezuela Alejandro Hidalgo, rhp, Venezuela Sandy Charle, rhp, Dominican Republic Julio Torres, lhp, Dominican Republic Cristofer Tejada, rhp, Dominican Republic Anderson Vargas, lhp, Dominican Republic Enderjer Sifontes, rhp, Venezuela Olivier Gomez, rhp, Dominican Republic Angel Duarte, rhp

"Also expected to sign with the Angels on Friday is Darlin Francia, a tall and lean Dominican right-handed pitcher. Francia is athletic with a smooth delivery, who competes mostly off his fastball, but shows some feel for a breaking ball with some shape. Eivor Betancourt is a Venezuelan catcher who bats from the left-side. Defensively, Betancourt is a quiet receiver who will show 2.0-2.1 raw pop times. Offensive, he shows bat-to-ball skills but limited power. Little public information is known about Venezuelan left-handed pitcher, Luis Viloria, who will also be signing with the Angels." https://homeplateview.com/2021/01/14/angels-international-signing-preview/

For the 2020-21 signing period that opens on Jan. 15, the top target the Angels are expected to sign is another physical, offensive-minded shortstop, Denzer Guzman from the Dominican Republic. Guzman is 6-foot-2, 178 pounds with a loose, simple swing and good feel for the barrel, making hard contact with the potential to grow into above-average power. Guzman will probably start his career at shortstop, though a lot of scouts think his quickness and range will lead him to third base. His bonus is expected to come in around $2 million. ...Beyond Guzman, other notable players the Angels are expected to sign include Luis Viloria, a lefthander from Venezuela, as well as Darlin Francia, a long-limbed, 6-foot-3 righthander from the Dominican Republic. They should also land Venezuelan catcher Eiver Betancourt. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/los-angeles-angels-2020-21-international-signing-preview/

Fabian Ardaya @FabianArdaya · Shohei Ohtani said his stiff back has been “feeling better by the day.” Didn’t feel symptoms today, so he threw his scheduled bullpen and took a couple of at-bats in the intrasquad game today after he felt good coming out of his ‘pen.

Jeff Fletcher @JeffFletcherOCR · He doubled down the left field line. Guess his back is OK.

It seems like the Angels could use pitching every year, so I think this fits well with a need, and with talent on the board. JJ: I feel like this is about the floor of where Detmers could go. He fits anywhere from six to here. Click here to see Reid Detmers' full scouting report LESS VIDEO

2020 MLB International Prospects Class A list of the 25 international prospects expected to command the largest signing bonuses when teams can officially sign 2020 players on July 2. baseballamerica.com 12 Denzer Guzman Dominican RepublicSS Notes: Born: Feb. 8, 2004. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 178. Report: Last year the Angels' top international signing was Arol Vera, a physical, switch-hitting shortstop from Venezuela. Their top target in 2020 is Guzman, another physical, offensive-oriented shortstop with a bonus expected to be around $2 million. Guzman makes a lot of contact against live pitching with a loose, easy swing, with the bat speed and physical projection to grow into considerable power as well. His strong arm should play on the left side of the infield, though his defense might fit better at third base. 18 Willy Fañas Dominican RepublicOF Notes: Born: Jan. 23, 2004. B-T: B-R. Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 185. Report: The Angels' 2020 international class looks to be centered around two Dominican prospects. One is Denzer Guzman, an offensive-minded shortstop. The other is Fañas, who trains with Felo and is expected to sign in the $1.5 to $2 million area. Fañas doesn't have Guzman's polished swing and pure hitting ability, but he's an athletic, physical outfielder with good bat speed from both sides of the plate, a chance to grow into 20-plus home run power and a solid sense for the strike zone for his age. He's a solid-average runner with a chance to stay in center field depending on how his speed and body develop the next few years. LESS

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale · 8m Shohei Ohtani, who's expected to begin pitching again in mid-May, received a $50,000 bump in pay from the #Angels and will earn $700,000 this season in his final year before being eligible for arbitration.
