Tigers Farmhands in Venezuela
Somewhat surprisingly (although maybe this won’t surprise anybody in years to come) most of the Tigers minor-leaguers playing ball during the offseason aren’t doing so in the AFL – Venezuela is where the action is. Here’s the breakdown of who’s playing for who, the guys in brackets are ‘on the roster’ but haven’t actually played in a game and might not actually play at all.
Aguilas de Zulia: OF Justin Henry, [1B Jose Soledad]
Bravos de Margarita: P Josue Carreno
Caribes de Anzoategui: P Brayan Villarreal, OF Avisail Garcia, [P Joel Zumaya]
Leones del Caracas: P Victor Larez, P Luis Angel Sanz, P Shawn Teufel, [P Fu-Te Ni, P Thad Weber]
Navegantes del Magallanes: P Jose Ortega, SS Argenis Diaz, 2B William Bergolla, [P Jose Tablante]
Tiburones de La Guaira: P Enrique Gonzalez
We’ve got a few in the Dominican too:
Ryan Strieby (1B) with Gigantes del Cibao and Jay Voss (P) & Audy Ciriaco (SS) with Aguilas Cibaenas
