08:15 AM ET 02.06 | You may want to remember the name of Jairo Beras. He is 6-foot-5, a spidery 175 pounds and, according to a roster of Dominican players that comes with the warning, "Birth dates have not been confirmed by MLB," turned 16 on Christmas Day. Beras considered the question only briefly. Do you ever make an out? "Hardly ever," he said with a crooked smile. ... Beras, who watched [David Ortiz] leave with a grand smile and wave, is from San Pedro de Macoris, a town near the eastern tip of the island known for its sugar cane and shortstops. He is an outfielder with a body that begs for calories and a swing that promises power. "My dream," Beras said, "is to get to the majors and be as good and famous as David Ortiz, my hero."
