I ran across this blurb on ESPN.com a few minutes ago. I wonder if anyone has any knowledge of him, his situation, salary demands etc? I did a little bit of research and he appears to claim to be 27 years old. Anywyas, I just want to read some chatter here at McCovey Chronicles other than the Lincecum/Cain stuff which has me feeling ill.
"2:15 p.m., from Enrique Rojas
* Jaime Torres, the agent for Cuban slugger Alexei Ramirez, left Nashville after meeting with five teams interested in the player. Torres said that he expects to meet with two other clubs in the next couple of days. Ramirez, the home run leader in the Cuban national tournament in 2006, can play second base or the outfield. He left Cuba and settled in Dominican Republic two months ago."
