Let's start with the good news.
The Blues are proud to annonce a major international signing. Desi Rincon, 18 years old, has accept a minor league contract with a signing bonus of 6 millions. Rincon has the talent of an average SS, but he should ends at third base or corner outfielder. He is now playing at Low A level as the starting shortstop.
Another 18 years old international prospect, Desi Samuel, has joined the Blues in the High A level. This addition to the team was made to replace two injured pitchers, but Samuel may keep his job if he is doing well.
The bad news is that the Blues have lost their #1 starting pitcher, Alex Beltre. Beltre has been put on the 15 days disable list, and should be out of action for the next 25 days. It's a big lost for the team, but Christy Gold will take his spot in the rotation.
The Blues have also lost two other pitchers in the minors leagues. Craig Greenwood and Taylor Powell at the Low A level have been put on disable list. Greenwood is on the 7 days list and should be back in about 4 days, but Powell will be out for 138 days and has been sent on the 60 days list.
