baby i got my money(ball)
Still in disbelief that Billy Beane would give a 16 year old International pitching prospect nearly $4.5 million, but if the rumored reports are true, that’s exactly what he did in landing Michel Inoa. The IFA signing period is a dirty business though, so I won’t believe it until it is officially announced by the Athletics in a press conference.
The IFA attention now falls on the other prizes available, most notably two youngsters out of Venezuela: OF Yorman Rodriguez and RHP Adis Portillo. Open those wallets!

He won’t make his way to Stockton for awhile.
His first action would be with the Arizona League Athletics’s, their Rookie Ball team.
Although he may not even pitch there this year. He may just play over the summer in one of the Latin American leagues.
