Looks like the Royals are on the verge of signing Domincan shortstop Paul Carlixte.
I don't know much about this guy...and can't seem to find a scouting report for him online. Apparently he was a top ten international free agent, but lied about his age, which has his ranking at this point a big question mark.
So...we know he's a shortstop (which is always a plus) and that he lied about his age (but we don't know how old he is).
Other than that, all I can find is one little nugget of scouting that says he has soft hands and a quick bat.
Assuming they didn't find out the guy is actually 47 years old, I like the signing. And what I like even more is how aggressive the team has been in the international market. Good stuff so far...let's hope they keep it up and a couple of these guys are hits, rather than misses.
