Your Random D-Back: Eddie Oropesa

I remember this episode on Jomboy (or maybe it was a Tweet) where former baseball player and now Podcast member Trevor Plouffe thought loud about if there were actually any bad baseball players that come from Cuba. Self-proclaimed D-Backs fan and Jomboy sidekick Jake somehow didn’t know the answer every Diamondbacks fan probably knows.

If Plouffe still would like to know if there were any bad baseball players from Cuba, he might want to dig deep in the list of Baseball Almanac of all major leaguers that were born in Cuba, although the list on Wikipedia of baseball players that defected from Cuba might perhaps be more interesting.
