[Centerfield]

Yoelkis Cespedes, that is, Yo's younger brother.

A couple notes:

*Swing kinda looks like his brother
*Strong throwing arm
*Doesn't slide

This article says he's not as good as his big brother, but only 19.

Oh crap. Wrong forum. Can one of you Russian-Sympathists move to the Baseball Forum?

[Edgy MD]

Looks more like an infielder's body.

[Centerfield]

Hits like one too. Only 2 HR's says the article. But the kid is only 19.

[Guest cooby]

Wow, I thought that said 10

[Theoldmole]

I would sign anyone named Yoelkis.

[Benjamin Grimm]

This makes me curious to know if he has any other siblings, and what their names are.

[Centerfield]

Endy Chavez' family probably approves of the naming scheme.

[Edgy MD]

Yoenis dad and mom separated when he was one, so this is likely a half brother.

So while his brother likely misses out on the genes Yoenis got from his Cuban League catcher dad, he still gets to draw from the gene pool of his Olympian softballer mother.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Since the last name is the same, wouldn't Yoelkis more likely be Yoenis' brother from another mother?

[Edgy MD]

Ah, I guess so.

Other siblings include Yogibera, Yoyoma, and Yoemtiviraps.

But the Odor family is like, "Pfft. Amateurs."
