Cuba's best pitching prospect defects

21 year old lefty Aroldis Chapman. He pitched in the WBC and had control issues, but the kid's stuff is unquestionable. Who wants to bet he signs with the White Sox?

Aroldis Chapman, top Cuban pitcher, defects - ESPN

If the Padres, Giants, Dodgers, A's, or Angels sign him.

I hear he needs a good deal on a cell phone though.

You don't get drafted if you defect from another country.

My bad. In the heat of an e-battle with a registered imbecile, I forgot all about the stories of Dayan Viciedo, Jose Contreras, "The Cuban Missile", Kendry Morales, Dice-K, Hideki Okajima, Yasuhiko Yabuta, Kaz Fukumori, Masahide Kobayashi, Takashi Saito, Ichiro Suzuki, Kenji Johjima, Hideo Nomo, Kaz Sasaki, Michael Ynoa, Yorman Rodriguez, Juan Duran, Julio Teheran, etc. (I could keep naming for an hour)

My apologies for having a brain lapse, vkb.

Funny, considering you are continually proven wrong or caught in a lie.

I've lied once on this board, and I haven't been proven wrong on anything.

Go sell a cell phone or you'll be demoted to the walkie talkie department.

Which one are you taking credit for then? Living in Southern California or modeling your message board persona after another dude?

Nobody is going to draft Aroldis Chapman. It was a complete and utter brain lapse.

Now, run along, do you really want to be selling walkie talkies instead of cell phones?

Every point you have tried to make in this forum has been lambasted by more than one person but if it makes you feel better then that's fine with me...

Would you please let us in on the cell phone joke because nobody has a clue of what you are talking about.

So? Put a Harvard grad in a room with a couple of HS dropouts and they'll gang up on him and say he's wrong.
