Head scout Berthelsen signs young Panamanian pitcher

Okay, look, I get that this isn't a huge news item and that this kid doesn't look like a future star.

But honestly, this is a rare instance where our scout actually found a kid on one of his scouting missions that could amount to something eventually.

Sure, he doesn't throw very hard and has low stamina, but he's only 17 years old, will likely eventually fill out his 6'4" frame, and has great intangibles. Maybe at best he becomes a somewhat useful swing-man in the 'pen.
But that's something. And with enough time perhaps he develops into even more.
