Indians international prospect ages three years overnight
"Confirmed: Dominican SS Jose Osoria, who signed w/ #Indians for $575K last July 2, is really 20-year-old Wally Bryan." Wally Bryan? The fact that he talked with an Iowa accent should have been a tip-off.

I updated the link to point to Badler’s full story at BA, who had ranked Ozoria as the Indians’ #10 prospect last year.
Industry insiders believe the number of players under suspicion is at least 70 and expect several other recent Dominican signings to be caught soon as well.
I believe this further enlightens the rather cryptic comments the Indians have made, vaguely implying that they’ve backed off the Dominican as a major stream of talent.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
That’s interesting, because MLB has been more aggressively vetting the players this year than ever before. It’s definitely trending toward more confidence in the reported ages, so now is probably the wrong time to back out.
It was a great selection of awesome.
I suspect that it isn’t just the widespread fraud, but also the extent of investment and competition from other clubs. They’re putting their resources where they’ll have the most effect, and competition is a part of that.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Kiley McDaniel on an additional identity-verification technique just implemented:
all DR signees will have to take DNA tests to confirm parents/identity on the way out of the country.
It was a great selection of awesome.
Nope. According to Arangure, Salcedo is in court in the Dominican Republic, trying to regain his eligibility. He one MLB source saying that Salcedo was “never getting off that island”.
It was a great selection of awesome.
Kelvin’s actual name: Otto Braun…very common in the Dominican

I think standard protocol in these cases is that Wally/Jose buys the drinks

Is no one bringing up that he might be even older than 20 because Wally Brian is obviously a fake name?

That’s Bryan with a Y. Instant credibility.
Though I look right at home, I still feel like an exile
