This kid is only 16 years old and is ready to play professional.
He is being compared to a young Ted Williams and Mets general manager traveled exclusively to DR to see him play. He will be available to get signed July 2 and his trainor will make sure that he will get the biggest bonus ever in DR's history.

First thing first wait until he get's to the big show ok then you can compare him to ole Ted Williams, there are thousands of propects all around the U.S. already putting up huge numbers in the minors, and Universities, baseball is not what you do in the lower ranks is what you do in the pro's is what counts...plus many Dominican players in the minors will tell you that they were told they was the next best thing...hopefully he will turn out to be a Tejada if not better.

As a Mets fan, keep us updated as to whether or not Mr. Minaya signs him.

Looks like the Mets did sign him:

En raras ocasiones, los jugadores dominicanos que obtuvieron grandes bonos por firmar alcanzaron el estrellato en las Grandes Ligas.
De hecho, de los peloteros quisqueyanos que recibieron m?s de un mill?n de d?lares por firmar, solamente el jardinero Wily Mo Pe?a (2.45 millones con los Yankees de New York) est? jugando en las ligas mayores.

Ese es solamente uno de los retos que tiene por delante Fernando Mart?nez, quien recibi? 1.4 millones de d?lares de los Mets de New York esta semana para convertirse en profesional.

Although the author seems to be dogging Dominican players who receive big signing bonuses. Anyone have anymore info on this signing?
