He was one of five free agents they signed on the first day of international signing.

With Alvarez the #1 and Prada the #3 prospects in the organization, it will be interesting where this guy slots in, or if one of them will be used in a (major?) deal.

G.uys like this are so so far away from the majors, there's no telling what they'll do or even what position they'll play. Hope for the best.

Yup. You draft/sign amateur players for their perceived talent and future projections, not for how their position fits into the current roster.
