DrB's 2018 Giants Top 50 Prospects: Dominican Dandies

We'll wrap up our offseason prospect coverage with the Dominican Dandies.  These are players who I think have a chance to move up to stateside competition and become rankable prospects in the future.  The dates at the end of the bio line are the year they were signed as IFA's.

Ismael Alcantara, 1B.  DOB:  4/15/2000.  B-L, T-R.  6'3", 190 lbs.  2016.
2 hits in 6 AB.  Alcantara signed for the maximum allowed $300 K.  He appeared in 2 games then disappeared, presumably due to injury.

Franklin Labour, OF.  DOB:  5/11/1998, B-R, T-R.  6'1", 190 lbs.  2015.
.317/.412/.495, 10 2B, 4 3B, 5 HR, 13 SB, 26 BB, 30 K, 186 AB.  Greatly improved numbers in 2'nd DSL campaign.

Wascar De Leon, 2B.  DOB:  1/8/1998.  B-S, T-R.  5'11", 180 lbs. 2015.
.275/.382/.380, 8 2B, 2 3B, HR, 3 SB, 24 BB, 31 K, 142 AB.  A Dominican Dandy for the name alone.

Raiber Gutierrez, OF.  DOB:  12/10/1999.  B-R, T-R.  5'10", 165 lbs.  2016.
.275/.416/.309, 18 SB, 24 BB, 21 K, 149 AB.  Speedster with zero power.

Samuel Jorge, 3B.  DOB:  9/9/1999.  B-R, T-R.  6'2", 190 lbs.  2016.
.232/.317/.331, 4 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 3 SB, 13 BB, 35 K, 142 AB.

Ghordy Santos, SS.  DOB:  9/2/1999.  B-S, T-R.  6'1", 177 lbs.  2016.
.218/.372/.333, 9 2B, 3 3B, HR, 15 SB, 38 BB, 40 K, 156 AB.  Signed for $300 K maximum.  Started painfully slow, but hit .321 in August.

Aynesber Sivira, 2B.  DOB:  1/9/2000.  B-R, T-R.  5'9", 155 lbs.  2016.
.222/346/.263, 20 SB, 23 BB, 17 K, 194 AB.  Had a good June but faded in July and August, possibly due to small size and grind of playing every day in the heat.  Listed as a 2B, but played all over the field.  Will probably repeat DSL, but secondary stats suggest he can improve a lot.

Norwith Gudino, RHP.  DOB:  11/22/1995.  6'2", 200 lbs.  2014.
6-1, 1.82, 74.1 IP, 10 BB, 83 K, GO/AO= 1.14.  This was Gudino's 3'rd rodeo with the DSL.  Very old at 22, but age is less critical in pitchers.

Marco Gonzalez, LHP.  DOB:  12/8/1997.  6'1', 180 lbs.  2015.
4-5, 1.83, 69 IP, 21 BB, 74 K.

Luis Moreno, RHP.  DOB:  8/3/1998, 6'2", 174 lbs. 2016.
4-1, 3.23, 64 IP, 19 BB, 38 K, GO/AO= 1.22.

Francis Pena, RHP.  DOB:  6/2/1997.  6'3", 175 lbs.  2016.
2-3, 3.27, 58.2 IP, 18 BB, 60 K, GO/AO= 1.64.
