Rosters for the Puerto Rican League aren’t posted yet, but the season doesn’t start for a month. After the playoffs are over, you’ll see some big leaguers make a few appearances in winter ball. Robbie Cano and Melky Cabrera usually make a cameo in the Dominican, but we might see guys like Frankie Cervelli, Ramiro Pena, and maybe even Al Aceves get some time in.
