Do they run the bases clock-wise in Australia?
Wow, and people think Mesoraco will take a while to develop. This is officially the first Reds' signee younger than my little bro. Crazy to think about.
Signing such young guys is so pathetic of professional sports teams. We should sign some Asians instead.

Why? If you are good enough to make a living at a young age, then why is it pathetic? Plenty of sports are out there where people, and kids for that matter are making plenty of money at that age.
Heck, plenty of major leaguers were signed at such a young age.
Its pathetic because they are kids. I dont agree with any team signing a kid to a contract. How long before we start seeing teams signing 8 year olds.
A common occurence, I've noticed.
I think it is a little disturbing that of all people he wants to sit next to on a plane flight he chose Bruce Lee. I am not a medical expert but Mr. Lee is probably going to be a little ripe to set next to.
Just think how close we are to signing guys who can say "the Reds have never won the World Series in my lifetime". A matter of days...

Hey! I'm one of those guys! I think I'm cursed since I was born in 91.

We can afford to wait on a 16 year old. Say it takes him 4-5 years to develop; he would be playing for the Reds at 20 or 21. I can live with that. I am glad to see the Reds are getting involved in signing international players.
BA states that he signed for $100,000, the biggest bonus for a prospect from Australia.
The Reds should sign all of Griffey's children
