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?

Looks more like an infielder's body.

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

Re: SIGN CESPEDES

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

Re: SIGN CESPEDES

Endy Chavez' family probably approves of the naming scheme.

Re: SIGN CESPEDES

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.

Re: SIGN CESPEDES

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

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