Rosters for the 2012 New York-Penn League All-Star team were announced this afternoon and five Auburn Doubledays made the N.L. squad:
Were Ramos and Martinez signed pre or post-Smiley fiasco? If they were signed after Smiley, that would make them the first wave of Latin players in a system bereft of non-American players.
Hopefully we’ll see more of the promising DSL players like Read and Marmelejos playing in the States soon enough. We’ve too long ignored a huge talent pool in Latin America. Maybe finally seeing some returns on this investment will encourage Nats management to invest more money and resources into it.
They both signed in 2009, after the truth about Smiley came out.
He started playing in the DSL in 2009 when he was 17, means he was most likely signed when he turned 16 in 2008.
They didn’t find out about Smiley being Non-Smiley til after his MVP 2008 season in the GCL.
OK, more detail: Estarlin Martinez was singed on January 30, 2009, two weeks before Smileygate.
As a technicality, MiLB shows that they both signed in May of 2009. That would be when the paperwork was processed.
Also, I’d have thought McQuillan was more deserving than Schill? He’s had better numbers across the board (offensively and defensively), but perhaps starting the season in the GCL was used against him?
McQuillan didn’t really get enough time in the NYPL to warrant an All-Star nod.
Had he begun in the NYPL and not in the GCL, I definitely could have seen him making the squad.
