Found this (http://baseballdeworld.com/2010/04/22/atlanta-braves-ink-canary-islands-prospect/) on my google alerts today for the Braves.
The Atlanta Braves have signed their fifth European prospect, catcher Víctor Velázquez, from the Tenerife Baseball Academy in Spain. The La Guancha native is the fifth European prospect to sign a professional contract wit the Major League Baseball club.
Velázquez participated in the second installment of the Tenerife Academy which is funded partly by the Braves organization. The promising backstop joins outfielder Deion Galvan and catcher Roberto Machado who were signed earlier this year by Johnny Almaraz, the Braves director of international operations.
