How old is Fernando martinez?

Kyle at Mets Prospects writes about Fernando Martinez and the problem with his age:

I recently found out Fernando Martinez's true age. Accoriding to MiLB.com the young prospect who was the youngest player to play in the Arizona Fall League Martinez is actually 20 years old. It lists Fernando Martinez as being born on December 10, 1986. Wow! This is a shock. Though this often happends with guys from the Latin American Countries. This is really huge. Martinez is projected to be in the majors in 2010. That would mean he would be 23. This does change my perception of Fernando. This also increases the Value of Carlos Gomez, the other Mets Prospect Outfielder who is now 1 year older and will probably arive in the Majors in 2008.
