Cuban Righty Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez

Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports that the Dodgers are not pursuing Cuban right-hander Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez.
The Dodgers have been considered one of the favorites to sign Gonzalez, with one general manager recently telling Peter Gammons of MLB.com that the club could be willing to go to five years and $50 million, but it appears that they have backed out of the running. The Braves, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, Rangers, Phillies, Blue Jays, Twins, and Marlins are among the other teams who have reportedly shown interest in the 26-year-old right-hander. It's believed that he could sign somewhere as soon as this week.

Is he a starter or reliever? If Beachy is not ready soon, and this kid is a starter, bring him on and send Maholm out the door.

I basically know nothing about the young man.

Work has been keeping me from being up to date on all the young talent.

If he receives anything close to $50 million, I doubt we end up being a real player.
