Ahh!!! A Chuck sighting. It feels so good POS AB R H RBI BB K [b]CFermaint CF 1 0 1 1 0 0[/b] It would also appear that Woolard had a better outing this time in Venezueala and came away with a W, 'tho I haven't been able to chase down a line score yet.

JP back in Spring Training '03

Fermaint didn't get into Ponce's first game, but former Brewer, Raul Casanova went 2-4, 2B, HR, 3 RBI as the DH http://www.jsonline.com/sports/brew/image/2000/july/casa72600.jpg

It would appear that the Puerto Rican League will be firing up Tuesday, including the Idios de Mayagüez taking on my beloved Charlie Fermaint and his Leones de Ponce! The website has been slightly updated at www.ebaseballpr.com and the links to some of the teams work including Mayagüez ' so I hope for a boxscore or two.

On the player development side of things, I have huge reservations. The guys like him a lot and seem to respond to him, but I see very little evidence of players developing during the season Good stuff huntsvillefan. I don't think it ever entered my mind that the coaching staff of the Stars might be adding to the problems. Player development is such a crap shoot. anywhoo, all this was a lot more fun to ponder than Glenn Woolard's line from Venezuela which was universally bad . . . . RHP Glenn WOOLARD (1.2IP, 7R, 7ER, 6H, 1BB, 0K, HBP)

Woolard is scheduled for Sunday. Go Cardenales de Lara!!

Even more from this from BA, I find it all fascinating at least. . . . And more Chadd v. Smith stuff . . .

No Hurricane sightings in Venezuela yet either. Still can't find good Puerto Rico info.

Hmmm.....

This appears to be Woolard's line from yesterday . . . RHP Glenn WOOLARD (6.0IP, 3R, 3ER, 7H, 1BB, 2K)

the question is, what can be told about youngsters like these two doing well in that league specifically. I guess, what minor league division would compare to the Mexican winter league? AAA? AA? Well absolutely nothing can be determined numberwise. Woolard has done well in a total of 3 starts and 17 innings. Krynzel has 31 AB's. No conclusions can be drawn from anything that happens down there it just goes as quality work against good competition. Now the way I would characterize that competition would be outside the normal minor league levels since all levels including Major League, former Major League and local stars all compete together. I would say it most similar to the last three innings of a spring training game.

Well I know that the Dominican and Puerto Rican leagues have started, but getting info on them has been a little difficult. I found Pedro Liriano on Licey's roster and they have an excellent website at www.licey.com why can't they share some server space with the league? Found the main Puerto Rican site at www.ebaseballpr.com doesn't have boxscores or stats yet, but they do have rosters. Don't know whether they are from this year or last 'tho.

Hey your an Edgar Diaz fan you had better pay attention to the winter leagues. If you blinked you missed Kiki's MLB career. Well I know I'll be all over the Puerto Rican leagues this year for news of my boy Charlie Fermaint. No sign of Prince and Co. in the first week of Box Scores in Mexico, but people pop in all the time for "Special Guest Appearances" And for some reason, years ago, I have adopted The Hermosillo Orange Growers as my official Mexican league team. Jesus Cota is a stud. We'll see if he can steal any AB away from Erubiel Durazo this year.
