Here is the list that I was working on over the weekend from of the Reds international signings from this past signing period (only those listed in the 2012 Media Guide are listed here):
| Player | From | Height | Weight | Age | Pos |
| Alberti Chavez | Zulia, VZ | 5′ 9″ | 178 | 16 | SS |
| Jose Fernandez | La Romana, DR | 6′ 2″ | 175 | 18 | OF |
| Kevin Garcia | Zulia, VZ | 6′ 1″ | 177 | 18 | OF |
| Raynay Guerrero | Dominican Republic | 6′ 4″ | 190 | 19 | OF |
| Jean Lara | Bani, DR | 6′ 3″ | 200 | 18 | RHP |
| Robert Lewis-Walker | Durban, South Africa | 6′ 3″ | 195 | 18 | RHP |
| Soid Marquez | Cumana, VZ | 6′ 3″ | 165 | 17 | RHP |
| Jairo Martinez | Santiago, DR | 6′ 1″ | 175 | 21 | LHP |
| Juan Martinez | Puerto Plata, DR | 6′ 2″ | 175 | 19 | LHP |
| Cesar Mejia | Santo Domingo, DR | 6′ 1″ | 165 | 17 | SS |
| Franklin Montilla | Carora, VZ | 6′ 4″ | 186 | 17 | RHP |
| Daniel Paula | Santo Domingo, DR | 5″ 11″ | 180 | 19 | C |
| Jonathan Perez | Lara, VZ | 6′ 5″ | 186 | 16 | RHP |
There two biggest guys on the list are Jonathan Perez and Soid Marquez, who were high profile pitching prospects. Beyond those two players, I can’t say that I know anything about anyone on the list. Everyone on the list is from either Venezuela or the Dominican Republic except for Robert Lewis-Walker who hails from South Africa. Go where the talent is, no matter where that is.
Redleg Nation has up its 2012 Shortstop Preview, which revolves around Zack Cozart. The projection is for the Reds to pick up a win over what they got from the position last year. That sounds about right. The ceiling projection is for a three win improvement, which seems about right as well.
The Hardball Times use the Oliver Projections to break down the Top 20 fantasy shortstops. Zack Cozart doesn’t fare well with the Oliver Projections, with a .247/.298/.395 line from Oliver, which put him in the 17th spot for shortstops.
