Cubs Sign Dominican SS...

[waldo7239117]

The Cubs sign 16 year old Dominican SS Daniel Sanchez to a mid 6 figure bonus. Maybe he can turn into a player like Castro who got less money according to the report.

Castro got a 5 figure bonus at 50,000.

1. I doubt he's sixteen. I'll guess closer to 18-19.
2. If he IS sixteen, it's still too young to guage at this point.

Bottom line is that this is another Hendry contract. We don't know if he's gonna pan, but we do know he's getting paid.

Castro was 16 when the Cubs signed him and as of right now, it looks good.

i seriously doubt he is that young

but ya he is getting paid


hopefully him getting signed this young means he has some potential

Why do you guys think he is not that young?

11 errors isn't very good. I'll take the offense/speed (assuming he'd get better the next few seasons)

Why do you guys think he is not that young?

Because he's Dominican? Why else.

I knew that but Castro was 16 when he was signed at a Dominican.

11 errors is not great but half of those were in his first week in the majors.

You aren't even sure if he was 16, for all we know he's 2-3 years older than he really is, just like Tejada. Don't you know about all these foreign players upping their age?

Castro has to be only 20. But I know what you mean abotu ther ages. Look at China during the summer olympics.

How does he have to be 20?

How does he have to be 20?

He looks like he is 20, if he is older, it can't be much older. He has a baby face. But I'm still sticking on 20.

That doesn't mean he has to, he could easily be 23.

Agent: You look just like 16!

Castro: But im 19

Agent: YOURE 16 YOU DUMB MEXICAN

There is no way he is 23.

There is no way he is 23.

People could have been saying the same thing when Tejada was "21".

 

[FirstTimer]

Fuck Castro. Bring this kid up!

He sounds good with Baseball America's article. But we'll have to see.
