Athletics Sign Dominican Outfielder Sanber Pimentel



Dominican outfielder Sanber Pimentel has signed with the Athletics.

Pimentel, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound lefty, is a 17-year-old from Santo Domingo who trained at La Academia. He stands out for his bat and projects as either a right fielder or a first baseman. His older brother, Rangers 22-year-old outfielder Guillermo Pimentel, played for short-season Spokane in 2011.

Baseball America subscribers can access Pimentel's full scouting report from before July 2, along with reports of other prominent Latin American prospects who became eligible to sign this summer.

Ben, Wondering when the $2.9 Intl cap kicks in?  Might there be a rush to sign Intls before it does?

Starts July 2. And yes, expect some bigger than usual bonuses between now and then.
