I would argue it has nothing to do with living a free society. It is talented players never having to adjust to top tier talent like in the majors. Many of these young guys arrive, have success, then falter after the league makes an adjustment to their play. And let's not lump all the Cuban players into one basket of failures. Cespedes, Chapman, Jose Contreres, Yunel Escobar, Livan Hernandez, and lots, lots more have done just fine. Just like the major league draft of free society guys, there are some who pan out, some that don't. I think this is spot on.
