Ben Badler of Baseball America reports that 21-year-old second baseman Andy Ibanez has defected from Cuba with the intention of signing with an MLB team.
Ibanez was the youngest player on Cuba’s World Baseball Classic
roster last year and Badler rates him as the No. 8 prospect still in
Cuba. However, he’s unlikely to get a huge contract because as a
21-year-old with only three seasons of experience in Cuba he’s subject
to the international spending limits that Cuban veterans are able to
avoid.
Badler speculates that he’d likely begin his American career at
Double-A and projects as a solid regular rather than a potential star.
