Let The Trading Begin! Braves Prospects Salcedo and Perez In The Crosshairs

New York Mets Wilmer Flores Heads the List for Top “Sally” Third Base Prospects
2010 was a good year for the South Atlantic League in terms of third base prospects as a plethora of young Latin American talents worked their way into and through the league. Additionally, the league played host to first round pick Kolbrin Vitek for the last couple week of the season, as well as 2009 second round Nolan Arenado, who has the best power/contact combination of any bat in the league.
Lazy Sunday Links – 8/8/2010
I wanted to start a new Sunday feature called “Lazy Sunday Links” because I like to catch up on my baseball reading on Sundays and focus whatever blog time I have on the seemingly never-ending process of editing video. If you happen to come across a great piece about a current or former South Atlantic Leaguer, please send it my way via twitter @scoutingtheSAL!

Scouting Report: Edward Salcedo, SS. Atlanta Braves
For the past couple of years, Edward Salcedo was rumored to be an elaborate internet hoax. With only a single video of Salcedo taking batting practice on YouTube and a scant few photographs, his not signing as a 16-year old led to even more questions. Earlier this year, Salcedo finally emerged from the shadows signing with the Atlanta Braves for a 1.6 million dollar bonus.
