    that vid is retarded

    just because a guy can do a leg press and jump high doesnt mean fuck all in the major leagues

    who says he can even hit nasty MLB pitching or play solid defense at the highest possible level???

    Seeing prospect videos like this always tilts the absolute living shit out of me

    From the sounds of it, he's expected to get the largest international bonus ever. Higher than the $30m Chapman got. Couple different scouts have said that he'd be above average defensively in center and big contact/power at the plate. How his game translates to the bigs is totally up in the air, but the tools are there to make him a star.

    The video may be the greatest thing ever.

    Haven't been this excited about a player since hearing the strories of a young Gregg Jefferies swinging a bat under water.

    Don't be surprised if the Miami dolphins sign him as a DE that ends up having 12+ sacks his first season. That's what we do.

    was thinking he'd look pretty good opposite cameron wake in the pass rush...and by the looks of it probably be ther featured goal line back as well...
