Re: WBC Japan vs Cuba
I was just going to make a thread on Aroldis Chapman, Cuba's starting pitcher. Reportedly threw the fastest pitch in a Cuban game last year at 102 MPH. A 21 year old lefty who throws 97 consistently, with a sharp breaking ball. Is there any way this guy could go to the MLB? I don't really understand how it works with Cuban players. I know Orlando Hernandez defected from Cuba to come play baseball here, but Alexei Ramirez plays on the national team and gets to play in the MLB. Thoughts?

That was before he left Cuba. Once you leave you are dead to them.

Gotcha. So it is possible for Chapman to defect at some point, I guess.
