ByThe entire Arizona Fall League was off tonight, so there’s no game to update. Here’s what the guys in Latin American are doing:

Josue Calzado: 1 G, 0.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 0.00 GB/FB – former outfielder just did the whole convert-to-pitcher thing after putting up a .252-.305-.376 batting line in close to 1,000 plate appearances

Juan Marcano, Jose Gil, Emerson Landoni, and Eduardo Sosa are listed on various VWL rosters, but have no appeared in a game yet.
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.
TEH JESUS!!!
HE LIVESS!!!
Venditte allowed a hit? BUST.
It’s good see Jesus back. DOTF hasn’t been the same since his injury.
The Jesus curse all pains.
very happy to see jesus back
I’m glad to see Jesus back, and am excited to see him in Trenton/Scranton next year.
Position players converted to the mound have a special place in my heart, so here’s hoping Calzado can at least be as successful as Whelan, Dunn, and de la Rosa.
(And I hope those guys can get some MLB success next year, although I’d bet against it.)
I betcha at least one or two of them gets a shot in the bigs, and at least one is with the Yanks. If he does a good job, he could hang on for a while. Especially Dunn.
Wait, where’s Kennedy now? In Tampa in case they need him? Or waiting for Puerto Rico?
AFL
oh, right, of course. Duh.
Something about “Pat Venditte” and Venezuela do not go together.
What, does he hate the nationalization of petroleum production?
“V for Venditte: in Venezuala.”
Anyone worried about Jesus’ .125 BA, 0% BB%, 25% K%, and no SBs?!!!!
Should of traded him for Halladay!!!!
/Uneducated, irrational, grammatically incorrect fan’d
I think Carlos Mendoza retired midseason and became a coach for the Yankees somewhere.
Venditte!
