It's still crazy to me that they can sign at 16yrs old.

NEW YORK ? Eric Pardinho, a 16-year-old pitcher who agreed last week to a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, will receive a $1.4 million signing bonus as part of his deal.
The bonus is payable within 45 days of the agreement's approval by the commissioner's office and is contingent on Pardinho obtaining a U.S. work visa.
The 5-foot-8 right-hander has a 94 mph fastball and has been scouted by the Blue Jays he was 14. He will report to the team's complex in the Dominican Republic.
Pardinho is No. 5 on MLB.com's list of 30 world prospects to watch.

Throw him in. He can't be as bad as our starting staff has been.
Wow crazy. How does this work, can he actually pitch in MLB/ Jays affiliates immediately? or does he have to turn 18?
I assumed you had to have been graduated from HS (or 18) to play pro baseball but the international stuff is vastly different than any other pro sports I follow. 5'8"? Sounds like Stroman 2.0

$1.4 million bonus at 16. Geez
The Jays used to be all over this in the '80's one of the best at teenage scouting. Glad to see that coming back. Gave them an edge. Delgado, Fernandez,

5'8" in grade 10. Could get to 6'0", but likely 5'10"/11" (MLB lists him at 5'10" already). He's throwing 94mph already tho, so could be high 90s FB in 6-8yrs when we see him....
International you have a limit to how much one can make if you sign between 16-18, which is why vladimir guerrero jr waited till 18 to sign, so he could sign more.
Also, while No. 5 on MLB.com’s list of 30 international amateur prospects, I think he's the No1 Pitcher, where the next closest pitcher is Damian Mendoza at 27 (expected to sign with the Rangers) who throws an 80-88mph FB. Eric Pardinho is going to be good if all goes well
