Apparently the Royals have spent $900,000 to sign five 16-year-old prospects. Among them were SS's Yowill Espinal for $250,000 and Geulin Beltre for $230,000. Espinal exhibits gap power and seems a natural fit for Kauffman Stadium’s big power alleys. Some scouts prefer Beltre, who received a $230,000 bonus.

 Baseball America reported the club also signed Venezuelan outfielder Vicni Pereira for $200,000, Dominican third baseman Samuel Carmona for $125,000 and Panamanian catcher Edul Escobar for $103,000.

Pereira projects as a power-hitting right fielder; Carmona is regarded as an advanced hitter with emerging power; and Escobar already shows polished game-calling skills.

All but Carmona will take part next month in the Instructional League in Surprise, Ariz., before returning to the Royals’ academy in the Dominican Republic.

   Do you know what I would have done with that kind of money at 16 years old?  Hmmm...should I buy 1 $900,000 prostitute or 900,000 $1 prostitutes
