Cubano Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Some of these guys may leave Cuba any given day. I thought some of you may be inclined to know about them. There are some in that list that can jump to the big leagues right now. http://cubanballplayers.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holguín Hounds LHP Aroldis Chapman (21 year old) 102 MPH GAS !!! I think we can find a spot for this lefty in the pen right away. Someone call Kenny.

SoxAce Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Damn I almost forgot about Mr. Gourriel. Ya, Chapman, Garcia, and Roibal (and to a lesser extent.. Lahara and Sanchez) look like something to keep an eye on. But Gourriel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can find a spot for this lefty in the pen right away. Someone call Kenny. He is special. Somehow, they left him out of Beijing. Hopefully, we will see him in the WBC # 2. There was a rumor before Beijing that he was caught in one of the Holguin beaches with a group of people. This seemed suspicious to the Cuban government and left him off the team. I think this was just a rumor because he is playing now. Edited January 5, 2009 by Cubano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gourriel is having a monster season. He is the BA leader now and is second in homers. I guess he is mad because in Beijing he batted into double play to end the game with the bases loaded vs Korea in the gold medal game. Cuba lost 3x2.
