Royals reach $1.3 million deal with Italian shortstop
The Royals opened the international signing season with a bang Tuesday morning by reaching a $1.3 million deal with Marten Gasparini, a 16-year-old Italian shortstop often cited as the best European prospect in history.

Well there's some good news! Hopefully he can play 2nd or 3rd...

Hopefully he can play short.

Escobar is going to be manning SS for the foreseeable future. If this kid is really that badass, he could be ready for the majors in 4 or 5 yrs...  Having an elite 2B prospect would excite me more.

1.3 or 13?

$1.3 Million is what other sites are reporting.

FYI- teams only have 2.9 mil total to sign foreign players in this instance.  Also, this kid is rated as the #4 prospect overall so that sounds promising.

Ned Yost is one dumb [redacted]....

Luke Hochevar was dealing.... yet, replaced him with Tim Collins who has been struggling....

Doesn't help the fact that he, for whatever reason, wants Escobar batting 2nd...

Somebody needs to kick him in the nuts and tell him to GTFO!

Shortstop is a more valuable position than 2B. If a guy has a chance to be a good MLB shortstop you ALWAYS try and develop him. Always. Regardless of the current big league roster.

And this kid is 16.

If the dude can play SS,  ha can play 2B, it's not a big deal.

Kick in the nuts would be OK but not required. Firing Ned is sufficient.

Royals have a pretty good prospect at SS in their system already too. Raul Adalberto Mondesi.

How long before we lose this 1-0 lead? Guthrie is bound to give up a homer sooner or later.

Is this a wonderful game, or what? Great 4-run inning so far. I like these guys.
