[Curtis Pride]

Why was he known as "Inoa" for the last 18 months?

Big kid with alot of physical developing to do...should be fun to see how he progresses.

There was a mix up on the spelling. He has legally "changed" back to Ynoa now.

The kid looks massive. 16? WOW.

[Omaha Red Sox]

Why was he known as "Inoa" for the last 18 months?

Changed his name twice. From Michel to Michael, and from Inoa to Ynoa. At least, I think that's the way it happened.

I'm pretty sure the last name change was due to reporters getting the spelling wrong. At least that's what I heard.
Should be interesting to see Cahill, Anderson & Ynoa and how well they are leading the A's rotation in 3 years.

I kinda doubt Ynoa will be leading any rotation that soon. Very likely he is still in the minors IMO.

He is only 16 so 3 years would be the absolute best case scenario for him to be in the A's rotation.

DOB = sept 24, 91 = 17 1/2 years old

at this point it's pretty silly to get up in arms about the age of any foreign player.

we have no idea how old Ynoa is, only that he's probably pretty young and still a teenager. Whether he's 16 or 18 depends on who made up his birth date and falsified the documents.
