Wilkins Arias and Jon Ortiz are also playing in the league, and chances are a few more players will trickle in during the season. Former Yank Humberto Sanchez is also playing in the DWL.
That’s a picture of Austin Romine chatting with Phoenix Desert Dogs manager and Yankee legend Don Mattingly before a recent Arizona Fall League game, which comes courtesy of reader Ryan NotsureifhewantsmetousehislastnamesoIwont. Here’s a slideshow of the rest of Ryan’s pics, make sure you click “Show Info”: so you know what you’re looking at. Let’s get you caught up on all the winter ball action …
Juan Marcano, Emerson Landoni, Eduardo Sosa, and Jesus Montero are all playing in the VWL as well, but have yet to appear in a game. No Yankee farmhands have played in the Puerto Rican League yet (season started two days ago), but Jon Albaladejo and Rene Rivera are there.
There were no AzFL games today. Now onto the Latin American leagues …
