April 9, 200916 yr There's been interesting talk today on this topic in the mainstream media...with this US delegation meeting with Castro. Purely hypothetical...but if the division between these two nations ends, lets say in a few yrs, will that take away the Sox seeming leverage in getting guys from there?

Purely hypothetical...but if the division between these two nations ends, lets say in a few yrs, will that take away the Sox seeming leverage in getting guys from there? Perhaps it will be similar to the NBA's deal with China; where the players and Jamie Torres are the only ones who will suffer.
April 10, 200916 yr Initially, the Sox may have an advantage. However, once more and more cubans sign with other teams, that advantage will be gone. The Braves have more cubans signed than the Sox counting those in the minors. The Miami Marlins may become the favorite team. Those politicians that went to Cuba are full of s... Have they met with any dissidents? I guess that is not important. The only thing important is to look good and be part of the play, get to meet a famous "ex-president" to get an autograph and bla, bla, bla.
