As Jedd Gyorko continues to struggle at the plate, the rumors are heating up that General Manager A.J. Preller might be seeking a replacement. One option could be Cuban prospect, Andy Ibanez, who was part of four Cubans participating in workouts at the University of Miami as reported by Steve Adams on MLBTradeRumors.com.
Ibanez is 22 years old and defected last December to the Dominican Republic. He is not especially seen as a superstar second baseman but compares favorably to guys like Omar Infante and Howie Kendrick, and many teams are looking for just what he can provide at second base.
