Juan Yassir Serrano

I don't know. Is this the Cubs' answer to the Chapman signing by the Reds? I shouldn't think so. In fact, if one is to judge by this link, written about a year ago by a guy who knows a thing or two about the Cuban leagues, they have probably got taken to the cleaners.

Not exactly a top drawer prospect who seems to have been misrepresented by his agent. He seems to have played for a good team in Cuba, but he was hardly ever used. Last season he pitched all of 21 innings, 20 strikeouts, 13 walks, 24 hits.

I know he is just an A ball prospect, but these aren't very encouraging numbers. I wonder how seriously the Cubs scouted him.
