Down two Cubans today with the release of Elian Rodriguez and this…
Small sample size definitely, but when I saw him, I thought he had potential.
Yeah, I hope it was a bunch of cash. Those numbers don’t suggest somebody you’re just trying to unload.
The title of this thread sounds like a John le Carre novel.
I was going more for Elmore Leonard.

Leosdany Molina (age 22) has had a decent start at Lo-A Fayetteville. He’s the regular SS and based on stats (and priority playing time) alone, seems to be a good one. I’d love to get an eyes-on report. He has a couple HRs and 5 SBs along with his .267/.327/.400 line. He is striking out way too often, though … 12 K in 49 PA.
Ben Badler at BA recently had another look at this year’s international signings (which noted earlier is Cuban dominant):
I missed this signing earlier. He was assigned to the DSL Orange club where he’s off to a 7-14 start thru 5 games with 4 walks versus 2 whiffs.
More success recruiting Cubans. This team better sign Yuli as a special assistant the moment his playing career is over.
Roving minor league caribean coordinator
Keep ‘em coming!
That is a 65 grade bat flip on a single there.
That’s some Josh Danielson shit.
