Finally starting to get some winter ball assignments. Pat Venditte, Jorge Vazquez, and Walt Ibarra are playing in the Mexican Pacific League while Josh Schmidt, Maldueno Gonzalez (Dominican Summer League kid), Jose Lopez (DSL kid), Ali Castillo, Jose Pirela, Frankie Cervelli, Juan Marcano, Jose Gil, Luis Nunez, Francisco Duran (DSL kid), Jesus Montero, Jackson Valera, and Reegie Corona will play in the Venezuelan Winter League. We’re still waiting on rosters from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
Remember, just because these guys are on the roster, doesn’t mean they’ll play. These are competitive leagues that play to win, so if someone doesn’t perform well, they’ll get benched. Also, I would be surprised if Cervelli played this winter given his latest concussion.
