Rays Media Guide Features Non-Extant, 100-Pound Prospect

Why the author has chosen late August as the appropriate time to make a close inspection of the minor-league portion of the 2014 Tampa Bay Rays’ Media Guide — this is a reasonable question. One notes, however, that it’s a considerably less interesting one (i.e. question) than the four below, all of which pertain to a curious entry in the aforementioned media guide.

1. Who is Alien “Vroom-Vroom” Vazquez?
2. Is he really 6-foot-2 but only 100 pounds?
3. Is he really a left-throwing catcher?
4. Why does his name appear literally nowhere else literally one place else on the internet?
