Arangure also posted this info on Marti on his Twitter page:
Marti was Cuba's best pitcher during the 2006 WBC. He pitched 12 2/3 scoreless innings. Could boost any potential playoff team's rotationAs far as his stuff goes, this quote from Baseball-Reference.com was all I could find:
Martà is not a hard-throwing pitcher as his fastball ranges around 87-90 mph. He relies instead on a slider, sinker, curveball and control.In other related news, Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes.com said that he spoke to a talent scout that has seen both Marti and Gomez play and said that they're both "ready to play in the majors."
If Marti is "ready to play in the majors" and could "boost any potential playoff team's rotation," then wouldn't it make a lot of sense for the Yankees to sign him?
We already know that Hal Steinbrenner doesn't want to add to the team's payroll, but if Marti is as good as people say he is the Yanks would be foolish not to snatch him up, especially when they clearly are in need of another pitcher.

I should know better but I'm really excited about the idea of adding Marti. Maybe he's the reason why Cash stayed quiet at the deadline?
Good bye Mitre hello Marti
I love the idea of going after thse two guys.
Great read! Good investigating. Your now one of my favorite sources of Yankee blogs for this one article!
Thanks Bill.
Mike don't excuse Cashmen's inability to do anything else as a gm but use the Yankee's financial power in the winter as being a cunning gm. He should grab this guy but it dose not make him any less inept when a deal actually involves thought.
sign em up!!! Bring in the Cubans....shit I'd want the Yanks to sign Fidel Castro if he could help the team.
