Outfield prospect Shalin Polanco is off to a slow start to his professional career. Should fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates be worried?
Shalin Polanco was offered one of the highest signing bonuses the Pittsburgh Pirates have ever given out to an International free agent. The 16-year-old had signed for a whooping $2.35 million signing bonus which made most Pirate fans believe this kid was the real deal.
