Alay bumaye

This is two days old, but the NY Daily News reported that Cuban pitcher Alay Soler, recently cut from the Mets, is expected to sign with the Pirates. Soler was cut, according to Mets' pitching coach Rick Peterson, because "the inconsistencies were consistent."

Still, Soler might only be 27 and has upside, so this could be a nice pick-up for DL. With all the media buzz created over Yoslan and Alay, young Cuban players would be reminded that Pittsburgh still actually has a MLB team. (link via Rotoworld).
