The baseball community has lost its collective mind over the defection of two of Cuba's best players, Yulieski and Lourdes Jr. Gurriel. Part of this is due to it somehow still being the offseason, but it's mostly exciting because both brothers can be very, very good. And let's be real, everyone loves a good Cuban defection story. If you haven't read Slusser's piece on Cespedes's move to the US, you need to do so right now.
As an A's fan you're probably thinking, hey, I like good players. Then you look at the A's roster and think, hey, the A's can use good players.
