I'd say you are wrong about that.

The catcher throwing his glove in the air after that blast was so cool.

Keith Law on Cespedes in his insider article:

• I was asked a few times on Twitter about Yoennis Cespedes, a Cuban outfielder who might become a free agent here in the next few weeks, after he's cleared by the U.S. government and by the commissioner's office. (I received conflicting information over whether the second part has already occurred.) What we do know on Cespedes is that he has plus power (including opposite-field power) and can run, with a 6.5 60-yard dash time in a recent workout, and he's really well put together physically. He's also listed at 26, an age we'll have to take on faith, as Cuban ages are all but impossible to verify, and he's spent his career from age 18 to 25 mashing in a league that's equivalent to low Class A or worse. Leonys Martin hit .311/.492/.491 (BA/OBP/SLG) in his last full year in Cuba, then dropped to .295/.362/.421 between Double-A and Triple-A here, doing most of the damage in the former. Cespedes is bigger than Martin and much stronger, and has a far more conventional swing -- with a wider, more stable base, although he has a busy lower half. However, he is three years older and might, like Martin, have to spend time in the minors adjusting to better pitching than he saw in Cuba.

I'd be much more excited about this if we did indeed plan on sending him to the minors first.

We'll Cam Maybin this guy.

6.5 60. Wow! That's impressive for such a big dude.

Well, he's 26, has spent 8 years playing professionally, and is going to get a major league deal that puts him right on the 40-man roster. If he's going to be worth signing, he has to be at the major league level sooner rather than later.
