Well, July 2nd is only 2 days away, and there has been nary a peep on one of my most favorite events of the MiLB season. Matt posted his rankings over a month ago and MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo has had his list posted for some time, but as we all know, scouting reports on international guys are extremely volatile, so it's nice to have a new, fresh updated list just in time for July 2nd. Ben Badler from Baseball America released his list yesterday, and I am very curious as to what some of the scouting reports are for the these players. I'm not a BA subscriber so any insight you can give would be really appreciated.

1. Franklin Barreto, ss/cf, Venezuela
2. Luis Torrens, c, Venezuela
3. Jose Mujica, rhp, Venezuela
4. Alexander Palma, of, Venezuela
5. Gustavo Cabrera, of, Dominican Republic
6. Jose Castillo, lhp, Venezuela
7. Luiz Gohara, lhp, Brazil
8. Carlos Belen, 3b, Dominican Republic
9. Luis Castro, ss, Venezuela
10. Wendell Rijo, ss, Dominican Republic
11. Amed Rosario, ss, Dominican Republic
12. Amaurys Minier, ss, Dominican Republic
13. Richard Urena, ss, Dominican Republic
14. David Rodriguez, c, Venezuela
15. Deivi Grullon, c, Dominican Republic
16. Julio de la Cruz, 3b, Dominican Republic
17. Jose Almonte, rhp, Dominican Republic
18. Sergio Alcantara, ss, Dominican Republic
19. Frandy de la Rosa, ss, Dominican Republic
20. Jose Pujols, of, Dominican Republic
