They want to hide all and at the end everybody learns about it. They keep everything behind locked doors, but everything comes to light. They practice the religion of silence and at the end their confessions become public knowledge. That’s the Cuban Baseball Federation, an open book, though its scribes they playing seek and hide with their decisions.<\/p>\n
It would appear that within the offices of the Federation is a hidden mole, an informer, which at every elusive step the entity takes he follows its footsteps without leaving a trace, and leaks everything to the public.<\/p>\n
The last story has been declassified by EFE, that has published a cable which states that directives of the Monchis Ca\u00f1eros team of the Mexican Professional League will travel in the coming days to Cuba in order to observe some players and sign them for the 2013-2014 season in the Mexican Pacific League in.<\/p>\n
According to the report, a source from that team (doesn\u2019t say who) confirmed the interest of recruiting some players from the island after three National Series figures became involved last summer with Piratas de Campeche.<\/p>\n
After reading the story without much precision, ordinary readers can meditate based on several elements. One: that the directors of the Ca\u00f1eros of the Monchis will not get in an airplane without having had prior dialogue with the Cuban authorities. Two: this is surely what Higinio Velez was talking about when he tackled Cuban baseball opening. And three: \u00a0the Federation\u2019s secrecy definitely does not make any sense if it has a mole inside.<\/p>\n
One can even imagine that the Cuban baseball\u2019s officials work with closed mouths, eyes on the desktop, without raising them, but eventually, people will find out somehow. Although Higinio Velez and his subordinates do not give statements to the press, unless they are at the airport upon arrival of a delegation (must have won the first place) or television programs on “the challenges of Cuban baseball”, people will continue to find out what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n
After the last speech of Velez in front of the national television cameras, one could imagine, or dream, of an improvement in the administrative policy, three players to the Mexican Professional League, alleged involvement in the Caribbean Series, several international tournaments and possible inclusion of Cuban players in some high class foreign leagues.<\/p>\n
But in the end everything has stayed the same. The promises of that speech and the federation\u2019s, as usual, have passed to fatten the long list of broken promises. The Cuban baseball continues to move toward an uncertain future, while its fans will have to make do with the slight whisper of a mole.<\/p>\n
