According to Baseball America, Dominican prospect Eladio Moronta has signed with – who else? – the New York Yankees:

Nearly two months after Major League Baseball lifted his suspension, Dominican center fielder Eladio Moronta has signed with the Yankees, a team official confirmed today.

MLB had suspended Moronta for one year earlier this year for misrepresenting his age, then lifted the suspension on September 28 after Moronta admitted he was 20 years old, not 17.

A Dominican player lied about his age?  You don’t say!

There shouldn’t be suspensions for Domincan players lying about their age since every single one of them does it.  Instead, MLB should implement some sort of conversion scale to pin down the age of these guys.  Oh, you’re 16?  Let’s plug that into this little formula here and…dikka dikka doo…looks like you’re 19 years and 5 months old!  With that out of the way, how’d you like $2 million to play baseball?
