IF He can do the job so be it.  Has he ever went to school. RED SOX SHOULD TUTOR HIM.

Big deal let me know when he begins shaving and has at east struck out a batter or two in AA or AAA

Well, in 1936 there was a 16 year old pitcher for the Cleveland Indians who had a rookie campaign of 15-10 and turned out to be one of the greatest pitchers of the modern era. His name was Bob Feller (Rapid Robert)………you never know !!
