Rebuilding a farm system is a very slow process. And signings like this are beneficial. I'm sure no one was blown away, like most likely, no one reacted by saying "Oh my god, we freakin got Alejandro Machado!" But hopefully in the future, we will be able to say, "Man, we're so lucky we have Alejandro Machado." It's very unlikely that prospects pan out, but if you've got enough of them to populate a good farm system, you're sure to have a couple good ones in the mix.
