Report: Rays Sign 16 Year Old Venezuelan Cesar Perez For $1 Million

Same kid as the post below, but we are starting to get more details about Cesar Perez as well as the money involved. SI's Jon Heyman posted this on his twitter

rays signed Venezuelan third base phenom cesar perez, 16, for $1 million, i hear. kid can play

That's a nice chunk of change for the 6'2, 180 lbs third basemen. Perez is very young at age 16 and I've heard questions about his defense at third. Even if he doesn't stick at the hot corner, there have been whispers of him being able to move to the outfield. The big draw is his power potential. According to reports and everything else I can gather this kid shows a lot of pop from the right side.

Will we offer Diekroeger that much cash?

If not, Perez may essentially become our 2nd round draft pick.

It was pretty nifty

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

Yeah, I question all these internationals

Id rather have our 2-5 rounders that we know their real ages and probably arent roiding than these Joel Guzman projects if I had to choose.

We wouldn't have signed him if we didn't investigate thoroughly.

Xenophobia is fun.

If he doesn't work well at third

can we convert him to C? or do we have to wait for LUKE to sign?
