Mariners Sign Vladimir Guerrero’s Nephew For $400,000 (Update: Video)



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.

Are we sure thats not Vlad's kid?

Seriously! Could the swing be any more like Uncle Vladi's?  wow

The physical resemblance (high-waist, shape of his legs) is uncanny as well. 

he's not worth $400,000, his swing might look like vlads, but he will get dominated on the inside pitch on the hands. Watch!

Update: He is not being dominated.
