I am not a big baseball guy, but I see no relevance between the black market, iPhones, and Asia with baseball.

Maybe future baseball recruits in Asia can't afford to get iPhones with the absurd plan Cingular offers so they have to buy them underground, get them activated online or by doing it themselves, then use those phones to communicate with Major League Baseball front offices 'off the radar'? Although this isn't college basketball, you are allowed to text message recruits. Or have them hang out with former players for that matter...
