Miguel Angel Sano Drawing Attention
By Tim Dierkes [May 4, 2009 at 9:51am CST]
Miguel Angel Sano, a 15 year-old shortstop from the Dominican Republic, is coveted by all 30 teams according to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He’ll turn 16 in May. The signing period for international free agents begins July 2nd. Kovacevic says Sano could command a bonus of $3MM.

Kovacevic says the Pirates are one of the favorites for Sano. GlobalPost has an informative video about the kid. In the clip, Sano wears apparel representing the Blue Jays, Cubs, and Cardinals at various times, for what it’s worth. He was wearing an A’s jersey when ESPN’s Jorge Arangure Jr. and Luke Cyphers saw him. Sano is not worried about proving he’s 15 years old, saying in the video, “Let them investigate me.” To read a bit about his personality, check out this blog post.

ESPN Story that is actually pretty OK…

By ESPN standards I’d say that is actually a nice read, I have gone so far beyond giving up on ESPN doing anything decent that is nice to see a well written article from them.

Is he making fun of Brian Wilson’s arm cross thing or making funny music with armpits?

Giants sign Miguel Angel Sano

Party hat demands seperate 500K signing bonus.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.
