In any case, get him to play second base next year, Mr. Shapiro.
Two Ballplayers may have asked for asylum in Colombia (TR. Note - I'm translating "Desertar" as asking for asylum).
Cuban ballplayers Yulieski Gurriel and Eduardo Parret may have asked for asylum in the Colombian Port of Cartagena, where the XXth Central American and Caribbean games are being held, according to local press reports this friday.
"One of the members of the Cuban squad which deserted would be the star second baseman Yulieski Gurriel, considered to be one of the best in the world at his position. Apparently, his next destination will be the New York Yankees", as per El Tiempo de Bogotá.
According to the newspaper, "the other deserter of the Cuban team will be shortstop Eduardo Paret".
On tuesday, Cuban athletes Damaris Nay, Julio Acosta y Carlos Castillo asked for asylum in the Dominican Republic, subhost for handball of the XXth Central American and Caribbean games.
So what's the story on Gurriel again? He was playing 2B in the WBC, but isn't his natural position 3B or even SS? I seem to remember him conceding that position to another more established hitter in the WBC.
Correct; I don't have the final 2005-2006 stats on hand, but I looked him up at the time of WBC, and he had exclusively played 3B for his Cuban club team during the 2004-2005, and 2005-2006 (up to that point) seasons.
Well, that's a good fit, then; the Yankees don't have anyone significant playing those positions.

Only if the Dodgers get involved.
He'd then probably lose much of his ability and become nothing better than a backup MI prospect.
Wait a second, Gourriel can both hit and field; don't the Dodgers only acquire players who con only do one or the other?
And Toronto.
Really, he should be a D-back, but I'm sure it'll be fine in the end.
