Details are sparse and I can claim no first-hand information, but this seems to be a largely complete list of the Braves international signings from July 2.
The top signee is probably left-hander Luis Barrios of Columbia, rated 27th on Scout.com's list. Probably no conincidence that the Braves also signed his twin brother, shortstop Rafael Barrios.
There is a growing interest in any player recruited out of Curacao, and the Braves spent well to acquire two this year: shortstop Ozhaino Albies ($350 K) and shortstop Kevin Josephina ($300 K). The Braves also spent $350 K to sign right-hander Frank Gil from Panama.
The Braves have added three notable signings from the Domincan: outfielder Jayson Cabrera, shortstosp Renny Guillermo and rigtht-hander Luis Perez. One signee from Venezuela, outfielder Jose Pina, and one player from Nicarauga (who I've yet to identify).
-------------
Another all-star has been promoted. Mississippi reliver Mark Lamm (3-3, 10 saves, 2.42 in 33 games) has been added to the beleaguered Gwinnett bullpen.
--------------
The Braves have released first baseman Chris Garcia and pitcher Billy Bullock. Garcia has been on the Lynchburg disabled list all season, while Bullock has been inconsistent after returning from a 50-game suspension for substance abuse.
Pitcher Bryam Garcia has been released off the Rome roster. Pitchers Brandon Rohde and Ernesto Silva have been released off the Danville roster. Pitcher Luis Merejo, Luis Monasterios and Mike Volpe have been moved to Danville from the Gulf Coast roster.
