This is worrisome. The last time they gave out a contract like this it was Willy Mo Pena and we've seen what that turned out to be. The kid is good. But I wonder if the money just won't go to his head. Its US$4 million! Most adults would go crazy with US$4 million. Imagine a 16 year old in the DR.
True he is a small market player now, but that has nothing to do with it until he gets into the bigs, IF he gets to the bigs. Alot can happen in 2 years. And most worrisome is that he is a pitcher. The most fragile of all positions.
All in all, I hope he does well. The hype has him as a sure first ballot Hall of Famer!
