Giants Sign No. 5 International Prospect Gustavo Cabrera



Dominican center fielder Gustavo Cabrera, the fifth-ranked international prospect for July 2, has signed with the Giants for $1.3 million.

Cabrera, who is 6 feet, 190 pounds, is a 16-year-old righthanded hitter who stands out for his tools and athleticism. Several scouts believe Cabrera has the best tools in Latin America, though his bat is the main question mark. He played in the Dominican Prospect League and trained with Christian Batista, who is known as “Niche.”

For being the #5 international prospect, it was pretty cheap as to where the Dodgers and Cubs overpaid for there international prospects.
