Bulls Below the Border

For some young men professional baseball is a year-round endeavor. The last Bulls game was September 18. Less than a month later at least seven of them are playing baseball in Arizona, Venezuela, and the Dominican. As other leagues come online we may see some more back at work. A link that shows Rays system ball players is here.

We mentioned earlier that two 2013 Bulls were playing in the Arizona Fall League, Mike Montgomery and Merrill Kelly.

Vince Belnome’s first game for the Dominican League Estrellas de Oriente was on October 18. His teammate on the Estrellas, Adam Liberatore, pitched in his first game on October 19.

Leslie Anderson has had a hot start with the Caribes de Anzoategui, in the Venezuelan League with an OPS of 1.056 in 17 AB.

Jesus Flores is also playing in the Venezuelan League for the Navegantes de Magellanes. He was playing  by Oct 11th.

Juan Sandoval has had a couple of relief appearances with the Aguilas Cibaenas in the Dominican. That’s the team with the attractive godmother.

Robbie Knopf over at Rays Colored Glasses keeps an eye on the Rays playing in winter leagues. His Spanish is much better than mine (which is non-existent ... thank you Google Translate).
