Dupuy: "Guardedly optimistic" that Cuba will play in WBC
2006-01-18 21:10
by Bob Timmermann

MLB.com has an article about attempts to allow the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control to give Cuba a permit to play in the WBC.

What I found even more interesting is toward the bottom of the story where Nicaragua is mentioned as the stand-in for Cuba if permission is not given to let Cuba play. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Marvin Benard play again.

Also Jim Caple of ESPN.com thinks the U.S. should let Cuba play, mainly because Cuba isn't that good anymore.

Dupuy talked about the stadium deal in a different version of the story.

I think he was "guardedly optimistic" about that too.

Marvin Benard? You mean they aren't still waiting on him like with Pedro Feliz?

...and whatever happened to Calvin Murray and Damon Minor? Ahh, the terrible bench players of the 2002 Giants...
