Billy Beane Inks Inoa

I wrote back in early June (Link Below) about Michel Inoa and how large this 16 year old's signing bonus would be. The wait is over and the Redsox and the Yankees were out spent by a crazy margin as the Oakland A's have signed Inoa and gave him a $4.25 million signing bonus. This is the richest deal ever for an international amteur that is not from Cuba. Billy "Moneyball" Beane sees something huge in this kid and he is one of the best at finding hidden talent. He is only 16 and it will be years to see if this investment will benefit the A's.
