Yankees chasing Cuban prospect?
Once pitcher Aroldis Chapman defected from the Cuban national team in the Netherlands on Thursday, speculation instantly began over which major league club would sign him and how much money he would command. The Yankees, who have been at the forefront of signing international pitchers, will have discussions about whether they should pursue the left-handed Chapman. He fires a fastball that exceeds 100 miles per hour and is widely considered the premier pitching prospect in Cuba. His age was reported Thursday as 21, but reports in March at the World Baseball Classic said he was 26.

"His age was reported Thursday as 21, but reports in March at the World Baseball Classic said he was 26."
That makes him about 32 or 33 then.

Cat, where did you get your weather report? This is what I have...
TodayMostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely...mainly this afternoon. Areas of fog this morning. Some thunderstorms may produce small hail...heavy rainfall and frequent lightning this afternoon. Not as cool with highs in the upper 70s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent.

Saw the title of this article and thought the Yankees were doing their part to help prevent illegal immigration.

No people, Chapman IS 21.
It's hard to believe why so many Cuban defectors have lied about their age. It's not like you can fool a mildly competent Major League organization. The Cuban government publishes a baseball reference each year, which includes player's birthdays* (Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez; 11 of October 1965). It shouldn't be too hard to get one of those.
Now, if you don't even bother to check out the truth and you are an MLB team, maybe you deserve what you get....
* When the references are published, the Cuban government will usually have no reason to lie about any players' age.

the only good thing about the rain is that my lawn looks great, not that the kids have been able to play on it much, but it still looks great
