So much attention has been focused on Yoenis Cespedes, the Cuban defector regarded as a five-tool player.

But the 26-year-old outfielder isn’t the only talented Cuban native who has caught the attention of a number of teams, including the Marlins, Red Sox, Yankees and Cubs.

Jorge Soler, 19, also has been working out for teams in the Dominican Republic.

A number of teams, including the Marlins and Rangers, have already scouted Soler.

Like Cespedes, Soler defected from Cuba and he has been working out in the Dominican Republic.

While Cespedes is considered big league ready right now, Soler is viewed as being three years away from reaching the Major Leagues.

In stature, a scout said, Soler is slightly smaller than Marlins slugger Mike Stanton, who stands 6-foot-5 1/2, 250-pounds.

Like Stanton, Soler has big-time power potential.

Cespedes projects to be a player who can hit .290 with 30 homers at the big league level. A scout said Soler may not hit for as high an average as Cespedes, but he could be a 40 home run candidate.

Soler also on Marlins’ radar

Why is Gio wearing a t-shirt from a school he transferred out of?

(Go T-Breds)

[Big Z]

He's a T-Bred for life. He never represents pace, they have him a free ride there and he took it, but he spent most of his years in HHS.

I went there too, but I later transferred.

Do you remember Nick Hernandez? He's now in the Phillies minor league system. Another LHP out of HHS.

I do.

You don't even know why he left Pace.

[Big Z]

You don't even know why he left Pace.

The issue with Max (his brother).

By the way, I have no idea why you're saying "you don't even know why he left pace". All I said is that he's a T-Bred for life. Maybe it came out wrong, but all I meant to say is that he represent HHS not Pace. I know about what happened.

[Party]

Didn't he have issues with Coach Marti?

[Mainge]

You don't even know why he left Pace.

Didn't he have issues with Coach Marti?

I was gonna say that he probably left for the same reason any other talented baseball player does, the coach pissed off him and/or his dad.

But y'all seem to be in the know and I didn't want to offend anyone.

Misinterpreted your comments.

But yes, that is the reason why he left Pace. For those who've met the family, you'd think that Gio isn't the star of the household.

He's making $7.5 million in '12 and has a $9 million player option in '13. I'm not big on Street, rather sign bell to 3/24. I also like Broxton, if he comes cheap.

[Ramp]

obviously a ruse

[....J....]

LOL now Street?!!! I think Goose Gossage is available too. Somebody should list the players the Marlins aren't in on.
