I didn't see an Anderson Espinoza link in the Adopt-a-prospect forum but saw this in a Fangraphs chat:
 
Kiley McDaniel: Very good, much better than his bonus relative to others in his draft class. Some Red Sox fans asked why I had him so high pre-season with no real data, but he had an early verbal deal, like back in November, so the number was lower than his talent warranted. It’s about as good as a 17 year old 6’0 righty can look.

Espinoza doubled the previous record for a Venezuelan signing and at $1.8M didn't exactly sign for peanuts, so pretty high expectations from McDaniel if that is a lower than talent level signing.
 
But then, the kid supposedly sits in the low to mid 90's with his fastball already and has a big breaking curve in the low 70's, huge speed difference coupled with hard break, pretty hard not to like that profile.
