well, my understanding is guys get moved down here later in the winter...maybe they have fall and winter tournaments?  anyways, not TOO much going on and the pickings are slim new-wise.

VENEUZUELA

luis hernandez -- luis luis is in the house, but doesn't have any ups yet.

oscar salazar -- has played one game and went sort of bananas.  4/5!

corey doyne -- trying to play his way back into fringey bullpen contention, has done a serviceable job over three outings.  3ip/1bb/2k/2sv

fwiw, jay gibbons is posting a robust .404 OPS.

DOMINICAN LEAGUE

does anyone really care about julio manon and felix romero?  i don't.

luis terrero -- competent hitting against weak opposition seems to be his forte.  he's posted an .875 OPS over 4 games.

MEXICAN LEAGUE

fringe city, baby!

chris roberson -- very nice 1.143 OPS over 10game w/ 6bb/5 2b.

tike redman -- meh...not so much .724 OPS over 8 games.

jeff nettles -- uh, weak ass .505 OPS over 10 games.
