The Dodgers used to own the Latin America market for young ballplayers. Nobody gave a shit about who the Yankees and Red Sox signed. They had no juice in that area. Now, the Dodgers' Latin America scouting budget has been reduced to gambling 50 grand that Carlos Monasterios wouldn't be overmatched at the big league level. It's no wonder we have resorted to trotting out complete scrubs like John Ely to get his shit handed to him while some noob with even the slightest ounce of potential like Jhoulys Chacin shuts us down.
