Yanks Sign Colombian Teen

The Yanks today continued their recommitment to IFA by signing 17 year old Colombian, Juan Escorcia.   He's a rhp who's just 5'11.   They were able to make it official because he's already 17.  Apparently he hits 90 on the gun. That's not freakish, but people should remember Clemens was throwing 88 in HS.  Of course that doesn't mean he'll get bigger and throw harder, but he might, and it's good to see the Yanks getting after it, though this was probably a low dollar deal, as this kid doesn't even have YouTube proof of his existence.
