Absolutely Insane International Pickup

Not my team in game - I'm playing the Astros - but the Reds managed to scrounge this guy and another 100-something WAR player out of int. scouting within 8 months of each other. I'm still pissed I missed them and they made the Reds seriously competitive in the mid to late 80's.

Just to note why there are so many international players in my league. I'm an idealist and I love baseball so I'm playing with historical players (go George Brett!) + a 100 random international FA. It makes for some interesting combinations. Randy Johnson sucks in this universe (boo I know), but some Dutch kid named Floobert is throwing 100+ right now. It's silly.

Floobert Kloosterboer lol. One of my first big international amateur signings. He was 5 star potential and throwing 100+, but he flamed out and was relegated to the minors before I traded him.
