Olympic athletes often don't get paid to do anything other than look good. In that vein, Attractive Olympians handicaps which athletes may rake in endorsement deals after the Olympics.Major League Baseball scouts have salivated over infielder Yulieski Gourriel ever since he joined the Cuban national team in 2003. All he's done since then is lead Cuba to Baseball World Cup championships in 2003 and 2005 (hitting 8 home runs in 11 games in the latter), a gold medal at the Athens Olympics, and a second-place finish at the World Baseball Classic.
Despite all the international travel and the millions of dollars he could make with MLB, Gourriel has so far refused to defect, even refuting an ESPN report that he had done so in 2006.
But can the man with more talent than Derek Jeter pull more talent than Derek Jeter? Let's turn it over to the populace. After the jump, weigh more evidence and vote in the FanHouse Attractive Olympian poll.

Ladies, feel free to compare his "form" to Derek Jeter's ... (Psst - I'm talking about his buttocks)

Hey man sorry to write this but you don't know what you talking about. Nobody is going to kill his family if he decides to stay in other country even USA. You hear a lot of things about Cuba that are not true and this one of them. Gourriel likes his country he is proud of that like any american player is proud to be part of the USA team in any competition. Think about it and then you can write anything you want, other think just talk about sport no politics please.
