Update: Feliz is reportedly getting one of the bigger bonuses in the class, at 900,000. Here’s what MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez has to say about him:
A powerful five-tool center fielder who can hit and run, Feliz compares favorably to Washington’s Robles at the same age. Feliz shows good bat speed in the strike zone and drives the ball to all fields. He has an average arm and good throwing mechanics. Because of his skillset and potential, Felix could be one of the bigger steals of this international class.
Perusing Feliz’s Instagram gave me (Kate) Julio-lite vibes, both as a player and a person.

So they spent money on non-elite guys. I have seen some come through as unheralded at 16. Jose Altuve is one of them.
I compare the top 30 IFA's ( Arbitrary ) to be equivalent to a top couple rounds of the draft.
#1 in 2019 draft Adley Rutschman
Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 60 | Run: 40 | Arm: 60 | Field: 60 | Overall: 60 = 5 tool grade 280
The Number one guy in IFA Jasson Dominguez
Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 55 | Run: 60 | Arm: 60 | Field: 55 = 5 tool grade 285
Robert Puason | Rank: 2
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 65 | Arm: 60 | Field: 55 5tool= 280
#30 Brayan Altuve
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 45 | Arm: 60 | Field: 50 5 tool = 255
Compare #30 in the IFA class to:
M's #15 DTW
Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 45 =255 5 tool
The top couple of IFA's look like 60 grade guys.
The rest of the top 30 are split between 55, 50, and 45 overall score types.
Good analysis. Simple and informative.

We got quite a few actually. Seattle chose to spread the wealth rather than target just one or two guys.

Not on the field but if you look in the parking lot the $5MM kid has a Lambo and the $1MM kid has a Porche.

Beltre started out as a SS. I'd like them to sign a SS/3B type like Beltre. Perhaps one of those already signed is a Beltre type.

Yes, future HOFer types are good.

Seems like a fine approach they took after all
Much better than not signing any! It's just too easy of a way to add talent to the system to avoid it altogether.
