16 year old from France could be first female signed by MLB team

Move over, Mo'ne Davis. Meet Melissa Mayeux, a 16-year-old from France who made history this weekend when she apparently became the first woman ever to be added to MLB's international registration list. As a result, she can be signed by a Major League Baseball team as soon as July 2. You know, NO BIG DEAL OR ANYTHING.
And if you're wondering just how legitimate Mayeux's chances are, she is a shortstop on France's U18 junior national team and, per Lindsay Berra of MLB.com, while virtually anyone can "technically be added to the list, only those who have the potential to actually be signed are customarily registered."
Mayeux will have a chance to further develop -- and show off -- her skills in August at MLB's European Elite Camp. She was one of four French players selected to attend and will work with a number of former players and managers, including Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin. MLB Director of International Game Development Mike McClellan, who has been watching her play for the past two years, called her "fearless" and a "legitimate shortstop who makes all the plays."

I'd have her tested. Sounds like France is trying to Lance Armstrong the MLB.

She has literally a less than zero percent chance

Sounds like a total non-story. Someone trying to beat the female drum with the girl pitcher commercial and Hillary running for POTUS.

That's literally not possible. She does have a zero percent chance though.

Lookey, lookey, lookey, a White girl getting press about becoming the 1st woman in baseball. She couldn't hold Mo'ne Davis tampax. This is the racist white devil, yet again trying to take away what Mo'ne Davis accomplished at the Little League World Series. So tired of watching AA's having their accomplishments taken away by the White devil.

I would surrender on that dream
Posted on 6/23/15 at 9:36 pm to Bench McElroy
I don't think so
Posted on 6/23/15 at 9:41 pm to Bench McElroy
I hear the Expos are still looking for players.

It's funny because she has not a fricking chance in hell.

Well actually she does have a "chance" at signing with a team because someone will push the political agenda and a team will fall through.
She has no shot at getting through the minor league system if it even gets that far.

Is she going to be on the $10 bill?
