Winter League Update for 11/28/2008
Since I've been gone for a week, all stats are from 11/21 to today, unless noted otherwise.
In Mexico: New Brewer Jason Bourgeois is hitting 10-for-29 over the last week for Mochis, with ten singles. All told, Bourgeois is hitting .354/.425/.415 in Mexico, with just two extra base hits in 65 ABs.
In Venezuela:
- Alcides Escobar went 0-for-4 with 2 strikeouts last Friday, and hasn't had a plate appearance since.
- Tony Gwynn went 2-for-8 with an RBI last Friday and Saturday.
- Hernan Iribarren has only had two plate appearances in the last week, and went 0-for-1 with a walk and was caught stealing.
- Brendan Katin went 2-for-6 with a walk and scored a run.
- Luis Pena threw two thirds of a scoreless inning Tuesday, his first outing since November 11 and only his fourth in two months of VWL play.
In the Dominican Republic:
- Joe Bateman gave up a run on a hit in an inning of work Saturday, then pitched 1.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts on Monday.
- Juan Sandoval had a rough outing last Friday, giving up four runs on three hits and a walk in one third of an inning, but rebounded to throw a scoreless inning Saturday and another 1.2 scoreless on Wednesday for his first DWL win.
In Puerto Rico:
- Carlos Corporan went 0-for-7 for Caguas and is 0-for his last 15 overall. He's hitting just .100/.100/.300 in his first 20 PWL ABs.
- Charlie Fermaint went 6-for-18 for Ponce with two doubles, and if you don't count a game where he entered as a pinch runner, he has a seven game hitting streak.
- Martin Maldonado went 0-for-1 in his only plate appearance last Friday.
- Mike Rivera went 4-for-15 with a walk, a double and an RBI for Santurce.
- Steve Bray has given up two runs on four hits and a walk over four outings spanning 3.2 innings of work. All told, he has a 2.08 ERA in 13 innings of work in Puerto Rico.
- Richie Gardner gave up a run on a hit and a walk in 2.2 innings of work over three appearances.
Also worth noting: Casey McGehee hasn't played since November 19, Chris Narveson hasn't pitched since November 17, and Brad Nelson hasn't played since November 14, but I haven't seen any reports on why. All were playing well prior to this gap. If you know something I don't, be sure to leave a note in the comments.

Nelson, Narveson, and McGehee
According the Gigantes del Cibao official site’s news for November 14, Nelson was heading back to the US to get married.
As for Narveson, this column on his team’s official site says something about him telling the team he was tired and was returning to the US. He’s been replaced on the Naranjeros roster by Vic Darensbourg.
It’s not much, but this short article on the Tomateros de Culiacan site says McGehee’s missed some games because he’s in the US dealing with family problems.
