What others have said:

“This is a significant signing for us,” said Johnny Almaraz, the Braves’ Director of International Scouting and Operations. “We feel that Edward is one of this year’s most talented prospects. He has outstanding makeup and the combination of his fielding and hitting ability make him one of the top international players we’ve seen in a while.” Salcedo, 18, has been one of the Dominican Republic’s most highly-touted prospects in recent years. He should begin his professional career with Single-A Rome or Class A Advanced Myrtle Beach
