Yanks Sign Checo

The Yanks added another high upside high school arm to the arsenal when they got NYC HS phenom Mariel Checo to sign on the dotted line. Checo is a tall, projectable kid who is already throwing low to mid-90's as an 18 year old. He went 11-1 this year, and K'd 94 in 52 innings. The Yanks took him in the 41st round and he was regarded as unsignable by other organizations but the Yanks got it done. Earlier this month the Yanks added California HSer, Brett Gerritse. The signings should start coming fast and furious now, but Checo was one of their most intriguing picks, and they got him in the system. Go Yanks!
