Here's hoping.
Kid is 6'3" and weighs 225, only 16 years old. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news...46362&c_id=cws

Article says hes 199lbs. Young talent is much harder to judge and predict correct? It looks like another athlete that is a long ways away from the majors. Lets cross our fingers and hope he develops.

If he's 16 he's at minimum of 4 years down the road. Hope they can develop him and don't rush him. I hope he's not another "free swinging pull happy homer or nothing" guy. Can't really say to much about developing hitting prospects in this organization. But here's to hoping!

1.6 mil is a lot of hope money.

So we're supposed to bash the Sox when they don't spend money on prospects and the farm system and also bash them when they do?
Got it.

A 16 year old international is much more of a gamble than a known HS or college quantity. Both have a high a rate of burnout, it's just that the cost is much higher with the international prospects. I'd rather see the Sox take a more conservative approach. At least the last few Sox int'l signings (Alexei, Dayan, Iguchi, others?) played in their country's domestic leagues and/or for their nat'l teams. That's a much more calculated investment. |

This kid has a chance to do something none of those guys ever did, be a star. I loved Tadahito, and the others have been ok, but this kid could be special.

Love this signing. Our farm system is close to bare, we need to restock it, and the international signings go a long way to helping that. Beggers cant be chosers with a farm system like the Sox. We need as many prospects as possible. Good job on White Sox, now go get some more.

Why an international prospect would be considered more risky than a US amateur signing is beyond me as well.
