Can you summarize the linked story in English? Thanks. This is the first section of the article (as best as I could translate): Since he was three years old, when he escaped from his house to cross the street and get to the baseball park in the gated community El Cafetal, Rafael Oliveras Caraballo knew what he wanted to be in life: a major league baseball player. Even then he dreamt of batting, running and throwing in the monumental parks that he saw on TV. What Rafita never imagined was that his dream would come true so quickly. At 18 years old just last week, he signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox of the American League of the MLB, and as early as this week will start his professional career in the Dominican Republic with eyes on being transferred to the rookie league in Florida next year. Then Class A, and then from there to Double A and Triple A. Oliveras Caraballo was selected with the 1043 pick on the 34th round of the rookie draft, competing with hundreds of players from universities in the US and high schools with more exposure than Loaiza Cordero del Rosario high school in Yauco, a great achievement for him and his family. The baseball player measuring 5 foot ten inches and 180 pounds was signed as a shortstop, but he is also seen as a third baseman thanks to his powerful arm, consistent hitting, and excellent defense. However, he sees himself playing centerfield in Fenway park in about four to five years. Other quick notes from the second section: Yankee fan He was also an ump and a coach for little league teams in his home town. Also played basketball.

Dan Hoppen ?@danhoppen 1h Ryan Boldt is scheduled to arrive on campus July 13 for classes, rehab. All indications are, despite Fenway Tour, that he'll be in Lincoln.
Dan Hoppen ?@danhoppen 1h Great news for #Huskers fans. MT @pbbboese: Ryan Boldt confirms BoSox visit but "I'm still fulfilling my commitment to @husker_Baseball."

Jim Callis ?@jimcallisba 11m #RedSox #mlbdraft update: 2nd-rder Teddy Stankiewicz agreed to $1.1 mil but signed for $915k after physical raised minor concern.
Jim Callis ?@jimcallisba 10m So updating #RedSox #mlbdraft pool status, they're $875,500 under budget. Can add another $318,770 w/o losing a pick. Yet to sign 4th-rder.

@chipcirillo: Jordan Sheffield picks Vanderbilt over Red Sox t.co/u57uo0d1hH via @tennessean “I’m just going to go to school,” Sheffield said. “It’s a tough decision just because it’s a kid’s dream to get drafted and go play ball, but passing up the opportunity at Vanderbilt is also tough. Vanderbilt does have a great baseball system and also a great education. It’s a win-win situation. You can never go wrong.”
