Castro acknowledges defection of 2 key baseball players

Posted: 09:50 PM ET

HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) — Two players from Cuba’s junior baseball team have defected in Edmonton, Canada, former Cuban President Fidel Castro said Thursday.

 

The defections of starting pitcher Noel Arguelles and shortstop Jose Juvenile — whose batting average is above .500 — occurred before play began in the 23rd World Junior AAA Championship, Castro said in a blog published on www.cubadebate.cu.

 

Castro, an ardent fan of the game, then detailed how the match went, noting that the replacement shortstop, Yandy Diaz, “played excellently” in the game, which Cuba won.

Thank you.. He thinks he is the master in Cuba and the rest of us are his slaves. Cubans have voted with our feet through the years. He is a knucklehead that does not get it. Like el Duke said recently: " I am not a defector nor a traitor. The people of Cuba knows who is who."

The two players will be represented by puertorrican baseball agent Jaime Torres. Torres is the same agent that represents Jose Contreras, Alexei Ramirez, Yuniesky Betancourt and Dayan Viciedo. Torres is vacationing in Italy now and he said these two players should be in NY now.

Hooray!

 

I don't even know the guy, but Jaime Torres is already my favorite agent!

 

Let's get a couple of these guys in the system! Jose and Alexei need to start campaigning.
