Cuban righty Jorge Despaigne left the island to pursue an MLB contract. 23, 6'1" 190, three years experience, fastball up to the mid-90s, but has control problems.

Dammit. Every holiday should honor the military. Arbor Day. Soldiers hide behind trees you know. Labor Day? Being a soldier is hard work you know. Digging holes and stuff. Secretaries Day? Soldiers are always trying to get with hot secretaries.
Dammit.

To be fair, how does one break into THIS dynamic lineup? And how do you take a chance on a guy like that when you've got divisions to win?
