ZoomSlowik Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 IIRC Baez is the only one that ever defected at a game in the US, and Contreras is the only other one to defect at an exhibition or tournament. That said, I wouldn't mind getting a shot at Yulieski Gouriel. He'd look good in a Sox jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd look good in a Sox jersey. His father and uncle (I believe) were also on the Cuban Nation Team. They're treated like kings in Cuba. He doesn't quite have the incentive to defect that some of the others have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 they are prob going to have extensive security and everything to make sure none of them try to run away. Also wouldnt it of been more to their advantage if they defected in one of the countries outside of the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phuck the Cubs Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 they are prob going to have extensive security and everything to make sure none of them try to run away. Also wouldnt it of been more to their advantage if they defected in one of the countries outside of the US. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah. When Contreras snuck out of Cuba when the national team was in Mexico, he defectd to Nicaruga to increase his bargining power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
