Once again this year, it’s my privilege to get to chat with Giants’ Senior International Scouting Director, Joe Salermo, to discuss the team’s latest class of incoming international free agents. January 15th opens the year’s signing period (it closes on December 15th), and the Giants introduced 20 new talents to the system. Joe talks about the team’s history with top signings Yoendry Sanchez and Jhonny Level, and points out a few of the real sleepers he thinks the Giants got this year. Salermo also talks a little about the team’s history scouting Jung-Hoo Lee and players from last year’s class who really stood out in their first season of pro ball.

I can’t thank Joe enough for taking the time at the end of a long, busy day to share his insights with There R Giants’ listeners.
