Mariners sign Vlad Guerrero's nephew

From http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/?p=10879

Dominican outfielder Gabriel Guerrero, the 17-year-old nephew of Vladimir Guerrero, has signed with the Mariners for $400,000.

Guerrero, a big-bodied 6-foot-2, 180-pound righthanded hitter, has shown good raw power and has made improvements at the plate and in the field since he became eligible to sign last year on July 2. He projects as a corner outfielder with a solid arm.

Sweet signing. I look forward to his bowman prospect auto.

EDIT: There's a vid behind the link. Someone cooler than me might be kind enough to post it.

Man watching the video it looks exactly like Vlads swing.

Hopefully he fills out a bit!

2000 taught me a valuable lesson: Vladimir Guererro's relatives aren't as good as Vladimir Guererro.

Work in progress....obviously.

I like the first comment on the BA link..."Are we sure that's not Vlad's kid?"
