Cespedes and Abreu were in their upper 20's when they finally came. Cespedes is now 30 and Abreu 29. Jose Fernandez defected in 2008 when he was still in H.S.. These three guys will have little affect on their team roster.
I do agree that their player poll isn't as large as the US, but it is essentially their All-Star team against a team that was just below .500 last year so it isn't like we are sending our All-Star team.
