There is another Cuban player to possibly get excited about

I couldn't find any pictures of the Cuban players, so here is a picture of Cuba.

The Phillies have not waded into the Cuban pool very often over the years.

The one time they tossed a line into that pool, they fished out Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez and signed him to a three-year, $15 million contract. This was after initially agreeing to a six-year, $60 million deal later scuttled due to concerns about MAG's health.

We are now entering the final year of that Gonzalez contract and all the Phillies have to show for it is six games and 5 1/3 innings at the Major League level in which he has given up four runs and nine hits with five strikeouts and three walks.
