Salcedo Weighs Offers

by ken from alexandria on Sep 21, 2007 7:11 PM EDT

The rest of you guys can get all excited about the post-season and stuff, but here in kenfromalexandriaville, the prospect watch never sleeps.

Chris Kline is reporting in BA that the Indians are among the active suitors of Edward Salcedo, a 16-year-old Dominican mega-prospect (according to his agent, Scott Boras). Kline says the asking price is #3.5 million.

Re: Salcedo Weighs Offers

Yes, that's him!

Hello everyone,

sbricker - yes, that's him! Thanks ken for the update. I might pass that along to MinorLeagueBall - many were asking about his status.

Again, thanks! :-)

Go Tribe! :-)

Re: Yes, that's him!

I should let you know he's very much not Jordan Brown. Consider yourself warned.

Re: Yes, that's he!

You mean he couldn't look as good in an evening gown as someone with an androgynous name like Jordan Brown? Or what?

You mean he's higher-ceiling, but not as well-

developed? I think I know. :-) I just hope we get him, after hearing rumors a month or so ago that we were in the hunt for him.

Go Tribe! :-)

Oh, no. I don't mean, "He isn't a Jordan Brown-esque prospect." I mean the guy is actually not the same person as Jordan Brown, which means you'll be rooting for and writing about a non-Jordan Brown personage.

I kid, I kid.

Thanks for clarifying! :-)

Hello fleerdon,

I think I'll be able to manage - I can have more than one favorite Indians' prospect, right? :-)

Go Tribe! :-)

Re: Salcedo Weighs Offers

It is I, fleerdon and Fiddlesticks, your humble servant (executes a full curtsy, then bows to indiansfan as the first Edwardian in these parts). Oh, gosh, I crack myself up.
