Adeiny Hechevarria Drawing Interest
6:06pm: Arangure mentions (via Twitter) that Hechevarria still has to be "unblocked" by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, meaning it could be weeks before he's able to sign.
2:24pm: Adeiny Hechevarria is the next big thing out of Cuba, tweets ESPN's Jorge Arangure Jr. ESPN's Mark Saxon has the scoop on the 19-year-old shortstop.
Saxon says the Angels and five other teams watched Hechevarria in the Dominican Republic last week and bidding "could reach eight figures." Indeed, Arangure tweets that he expects Hechevarria to get more than Jose Iglesias' $8.2MM. The blog Cuban Ball Players has video and a profile of Hechevarria, and AOL Fanhouse's Frankie Piliere tweets one evaluator's take.
