Reds sign another Australian player

Thanks for doing that. I was going to do the same thing. Gianchou wasn't listed anywhere in the organization, so I figured the contract was voided somehow.

I wrote the guy back and asked if Luke Prokopec was still working for the Reds, but it's night there now, I think, so I'll let you all know what I hear. I gave him the link to Redszone.

The Reds had three scouts in Australia at the beginning of the season, and Prokopec was one of them, so I'd imagine he's still doing that since I haven't seen any announcements to the contrary.

I emailed the website www.baseball.com.au overnight and got a response stating that the contract was voided due to his failing his physical due to the knee injury.

Great work. Thanks for doing that.

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.

Hate to break it to you, but soccer is already signing kids of that age. Way to ruin those kids...future millionaires...

$100,000? If he materializes, we will all be grateful. For those who follow high school baseball, a kids talent if evident by age 16. Problem is, do they chase an MLB career, or do they chase the skirts that will be raised in their faces while they are climbing the ranks of Minor league ball............

I doubt it, on page 3 of this thread it states we voided the contract due to his knee injury.
