Jose Ortiz
Now that he's signed, anyone have any info on him? I've tried searching some, and because there is seemingly 100 other Jose Ortiz', I can't find much. Anyone else?

Re: Jose Ortiz
He's a catcher with plus defensive tools and projects to have power and a little hit tool. Played for Puerto Rico Academy, IIRC, and wasn't expected to sign in the hopes of improving his draft status.
Was discussed (again, IIRC) as a possible high-round pick in later drafts. "One to watch" was the phrase, I think.

Re: Jose Ortiz
Great to hear he signed. Our catching depth is pretty solid, but never hurts to add more.

Re: Jose Ortiz
Navarro and Barnhart look solid. Beyond that, I see nothing.
And Navarro is likely gone after this season, while Barnhart isn't a sure thing. Catching is among the poorest positions, IMO, in the Red talent pipeline. Ortiz won't hit full-season ball for a year, perhaps two. It all depends on Barnhart, really.

Re: Jose Ortiz
What puzzled me is how little info was out there om Ortiz, I think just some tournament info. Nothing about having college plans or anything. Must have had some options or he would have signed sooner, don't you think?,
