It seemed like a pretty legit scouting report. Even if he's not his trainer' date=' it was a fine post.[/quote']

 

Awwwwwww, i wanna read it now. Isn't there some way to get it back or something?

the IP is from the Dominican. I wonder who posted it...

 

Only posters from the Dominican here are me and diony, but i would've gotten caught right away because i have a fixed ip.

I didnt know diony was from the dominican. Hmmm. Interesting

 

Haven't i said this like twelve times, dude? :lol:

For the board's information, this DePaula guy is legit and he's not a troll.

 

He actually just sent me a link to the results of the investigation on DePaula's age, and apparently he is 17, contrary to the information i had previously acquired.

 

His information on Boston scouting corresponds to what i'd heard before, so i'm pretty confident that the Sox are indeed out of the running.

I talked to him over MSN, and managed to ascertain the fact that he is indeed DePaula's main trainer, there were some issues with the Boston side, which is the reason why he says Boston is out of the running, apparently the guy wants some other teams besides the Yanks to step up in the pursuit of his client.

 

He sent me some photographic evidence of DePaula's workout for the Sox, as well as personal information which i verified with my sources (but will not disclose here for obvious reasons). He's the real deal.

Sounds pretty fishy to me. Why don't you post a picture of the workout if he in fact did send you some?

Final picture is him in a tryout in the Red Sox facility in the Dominican?

 

Dunno what's so fishy about that. You can choose not to believe it if you want, but you live, well, thousands of miles away, so i wouldn't blame you.

Can you post the picture? I doubt you up to this point because you've claimed that you have photographic evidence of something, yet you've yet to provide it.

There are 3 pictures of the Sox Dominican training facility in the other page. What, you can't see them or something?

Pictures appear now?

 

I call ********!

 

These pictures are clearly just clever photo shops and prove nothing.

 

Never trust anything or anyone from the DR!;)

 

 

Seriously though, he sure looks skinny. And young.

He's got a good pitcher's build.

I have read the other reports saying that Depaula could hit 97mph, I have not seen any other documented readings higher than that. Regardless, even if he is 19, a kid who can throw that hard is nice to have around. Sounds like he was going to get a 7 figure bonus prior to his scandal. I assume he'll still sign with NY for something in the 500K range now

He's 17. And, he's hit 99 twice in separate workouts. Other teams are offering that much, he'll get 900K +.

DePaula still has yet to be allowed to sign, although his suspension has been lifted. Same with Carlos Mattias. The word is that the Yankees and Seattle are the final two teams in it for DePaula, but we know how that can change. Expect a verdict within the next month or so and a contract shortly thereafter
