[BA]Morales To Make Pro Debut
Morales To Make Pro Debut
By Bill Shaikin
May 21, 2005
The Angels' long wait for Kendry Morales is over. Morales has arrived in the
United States and is scheduled to make his debut tonight at Class A Rancho
Cucamonga.
Morales, the Cuban slugger signed amid much fanfare in December, had been
stranded in the Dominican Republic. By defecting there and declaring himself
a free agent, he could sign with whatever club he liked but could not leave
until obtaining the Dominican citizenship needed to secure a Dominican
passport and a U.S. work visa.
General Manager Bill Stoneman said that Morales would begin pro ball as a
first baseman, although he also can play third base and left field.
"It's the big bat he carries that's the big thing," Stoneman said.
The Angels signed Morales, who is listed as 21 years old, to a six-year
contract that includes a $3-million signing bonus.
