The Washington Nationals announced today that they signed a pair of 16 year old prospects from the Dominican; left hander Gregory Baez and catcher Bill Pena. After researching for about half an hour about these two I couldn't find much more than what the Nationals said in their press release.
"Pena is a high-energy, two-way catcher with a very strong arm. At 6-foot-2, Baez has good size and has great potential. He throws with an effortless motion and gets outstanding late movement on his pitches."
That's about all we got, which isn't too surprising, they're 16...and from the Dominican. We'll just need to wait and see how they preform in camp and rookie ball, but what we can be sure of is that they are at the very least 2 years from the majors, and probably more like 5 or 6...assuming they even have the talent to get there.
