Winter League Roundup
We now bring you up to date on how the Yankees' players and prospects are doing south of the border.
Dominican
Wilson Betemit (Leones del Escogido)
Hasn't played since we checked in last. Sitting at .286-2-7
Jose Veras (Leones del Escogido)
Has thrown just 1 inning since our last update, but has still not allowed a run (8.2 IP). He's also got 13 Ks.
Edwar Ramirez (Tigres del Licey)
Still has not appeared in any games since his initial 3.
Robinson Cano (Estrellas de Oriente)
The Cano Kid is a recent addition to the Estrellas team. He's ripping away at .350 (14-40) with 3 doubles and 3 RBI.
Mexico
Tim Lavigne (Algodoneros de Guasave)
Lowered his ERA from 2.22 to 1.88 in 28.2 innings, and picked up his 8th save.
Venezuela
Justin Pope (Bravos de Margarita)
Has not appeared since our last update. Has allowed just 2 earned runs in 23.1 innings pitched. His 0.94 WHIP and 0.77 ERA, in 22 appearances, are among the league's best.
Alberto Gonzalez (Bravos de Margarita)
Has been on a tear, raising his average from .304 to .347. Of his 41 hits, 12 are for extra bases.
Francisco Cervelli (Cardenales de Lara)
Has gone 3-11 to raise his average to .212. Has also drawn 10 walks.
Edwar Gonzalez (Cardenales de Lara)
Average has dropped to .238. Has batted just 5 times since our last update.
Scott Patterson (Cardenales de Lara)
We missed this one earlier. For some reason, MiLB has him listed as property of Seattle for some reason. Has a 2-2 record with 2 saves and a 1.69 ERA in 21.1 IP. Patterson has walked just 2 while striking out 17.
Marcos M. Vechionacci (Navegantes del Magallanes)
Hitting .270 with 12 RBI (just 1 since last update). 9 of his 27 hits are for extra bases.
What's really remarkable about the winter leagues are the players that were once in MLB and now still play in the South or Central America in the winter. Guys like Luis Polonia and Fernando Valenzuela. And in Venezuela, on Aguilas de Zulia, you'll find Bill Pulsipher and Rich Garces.
Bobby Abreu (Leones del Caracas)
Has made just one appearance and was 0-3. No idea whether or not he'll play any more.
