He's how old???!!

Scrolling through the roster on The White Sox website, I notice a new infielder, born 3/10/1989..wait what? Shoot, this kid is younger than I am and is playing for the White Sox? Really? He better be good..

Dayan Viciedo is from Villa Clara, Cuba and just signed a four-year, $11 million major-league deal, guaranteeing him more money than any player under 21 signed as an international free-agent. (this is how I know) Are you kidding me? Even better, rumor has it that he'll take Joe Crede's place at 3rd. (I know the ladies are upset).  However, there is a lot of talk out in the web world how Viciedo is a baseball prodigy and MLB's next Cuban star.  Just look at this video..





I think we all get a little too excited and quick to judge when a young hot shot comes into the roster, and while I'm not suggesting that I'm not excited about him, I just think we should wait to see what this kid has. Is he really a baseball prodigy? Alexei Ramirez seems to think so.. Let's take a look..


Maybe he'll prove me wrong.. I hope so..
