Boone also decided to insert Nestor Cortes into a game after he hadn't pitched for a month. I'm not sure one thing says anything about another.

Just for fun I looked at the other international prospects signed the same year Dominguez was, especially since it's been suggested he isn't the talent he was meant to be:

Dominguez was the number 2 international prospect the year the Yankees signed him:

1. Yoelqui Cespedes - currently in independent ball
2. Dominguez - major league player expected to be starting outfielder in 2025
3. Robert Puason - same age but yet to advance beyond A ball
4. Pedro Leon - 26 years old and played 7 games last season at the MLB level
5. Norge Vera - 24 years old and in A ball
6. Bayron Lora - killed somebody while driving and out of baseball
7. Luis Rodriguez - same age as Dominguez but yet to play above A ball
8. Erick Pena - same age as Dominguez but yet to play above A ball
9. Ronnier Quintero - 22 years old and out of baseball
10. Yiddi Cappe - same age as Dominguez but yet to play above A ball

I would say the Yankees signed the best player.
