A's sign 16 year old pitcher

Featured Replies

Heard this on ESPN, checked it out with the link below.

Don't know much about this kid, but 6'7 210 lbs at 16 years old and getting that type of a signing bonus with quite a few other teams bidding on him as well, he must have some pretty terrific stuff.

Yeah I strongly doubt that. It doesn't even look like he's used a razor in his entire life. I don't know how you can say "that kid is 22" and guarantee it. 6 year differences between actual age and reported age never happen.

 

He looks 16 to me.

He's not 16, but he's definitely not 22. He looks way too developed for 16, yet it looks like he has zero facial hair, so I'd say 18-19.

I remember watching Lebron in high school and thinking he must have been 25, same with Greg Oden....

He looks 18, but that doesn't mean he's not 16.

Amazing, if that kid is smart with the loot, he might never get any further in baseball and still be set for life.

 

Oh yeah, and Greg Oden and Bill Russell are the same guy.

I swear i read something about this signing being investigated in relation to the Dave Wilder fiasco.

 

edit: found it

Kevin Baxter of the L.A. Times has sources who believe at least one general manager is under suspicion as part of the Dominican player bonus-skimming investigation. Additionally, MLB might look into the Michel Inoa signing on the Rangers' behalf.

I love how the A's will give millions to a f***ing 16 year old ,yet proven major leaguers they question every dollar they dish out to them.

He doesn't look 22 to me, and he don't look 16 either. I think he is either 18 or 19, no way is he 16.
