February 21, 200422 yr Orioles prospect Denny Bautista has been found to be two years and two months older than his listed age of 21. Bautista was born on Aug. 23, 1980, not Oct. 23, 1982. The change takes a little away from him as a prospect, but he still has No. 2-starter stuff, and after the progress he made last season, it looks like he has a chance to reach his ceiling. The Orioles have also learned that Jose Morban, who spent last year in the majors because he was a Rule 5 pick, is two months older than previously believed.
February 21, 200422 yr well, that will ease the pain of trading him a bit, i just cant wait till jeffrey allison come up!!!! :cool
February 21, 200422 yr i understand maybe lying about it if your in your mid to late 20s but early 20's? thats idiotic
February 21, 200422 yr i understand maybe lying about it if your in your mid to late 20s but early 20's? thats idiotic well you can't really decide to lie about it when you're in your mid to late 20's. you have to lie about it as soon as you enter the system. if he hadn't been caught, he could have pretended to be a 33 year old when in actuality he's 35 and reaching the end of his career. or he could've pretended to be a youthful 28 year old and secured a nice long contract when in actuality he's really 30.
February 21, 200422 yr what a dork....I don't really see why players lie about their age. Yea, it could only extend your career an extra few years, giving yourself the opprotunity to earn more salary throughout your lifetime.
February 21, 200422 yr you know, i wouldn't be surprised if his cousin vlad also lied about his age. he claims to have joined the expos at the age of 17, but he could have very well been 19. the angels could've just signed a 30 year old with back trouble to a long term contract... mwahaha
February 21, 200422 yr what a dork....I don't really see why players lie about their age. Yea, it could only extend your career an extra few years, giving yourself the opprotunity to earn more salary throughout your lifetime. lying about your age is awesome even at the beginning of your career. if you're "25" and pitching, everyone will think you haven't even reached your peak yet. they'll expect you to get even better. look at kerry wood. he's in his mid twenties and just got a $10m contract from the cubs, and they're trying to work out a multiyear contract before the season starts. imagine if he were dominican and really 28 years old.
February 21, 200422 yr Pujols is really 36 i did a backround check on him...... hes actually well into his 40's
February 21, 200422 yr How long until the feds come after the Marlins to charge child workplace laws because of Miggy?
February 22, 200422 yr its not so bad considering he should be in the majors sometime this season... True considering he is in a system with a weak Rotation, especially fifth starter...
February 22, 200422 yr I still expect him to be a fine starter in the bigs it was a steep price to pay but 9er was SO worth it...
February 22, 200422 yr look at Soriano everyone thought he was entering his prime at 26 but now they found last year could have being his peak now that they found out hes really 28.
February 22, 200422 yr no way is Sorio peaked out. the guy is as skilled as any player i have ever seen, he is a true 5 tool player. Now playing at the Arlington Smallpark he will put up A Roid like #s for one 5th the salary...
February 22, 200422 yr How long until the feds come after the Marlins to charge child workplace laws because of Miggy? Damn, that got me thinking............. :mischief2 what if CABS isnt really 20 what if hes 23 or 24. even with that baby face of his, its not entirely impossible
