This is more of a winter league type thing, but the LBPRC (Puerto Rican Winter League) had their rookie draft today. Henry Nunez Rijo (just referred to as Henry Nunez) was the first overall pick to RA12 (Roberto Alomar's team).

Nice spot! Would not have even remembered the name.

I know it probably has a bit to do with positional need for each team, but Nunez was drafted ahead of Trei Cruz (#2 overall) and Austin Martin (#3 overall)!

That was really very surprising. Martin, Cruz, and Antonio Vélez are all pretty interesting names for a winter league rookie draft.

Must be the top prospect playing in one of the winter leagues in some time, right?
EDIT: Looked back quickly and I think the last top guy was Devers in LIDOM in 2015-16.

Criollos are really pushing this year. They have Lindor, José de León, two big league catchers, and I think someone else as well. Other teams drafted two Red Sox low-level guys.

Didn't know the Sox had any other interesting catching prospects. Any info on him like signing bonus or scouting report? Just found him as one of the undrafted free agents. Sounds like a bargain at 20,000 to be that well thought of to be drafted that high in this league.

Consider that the first overall pick in the draft was also an NDFA. This isn't a bumper crop of players.

Just looked at the Mexican winter rosters. No current players. Pending MLFA Joey Meneses is with the Tomateros, and old friend Felix Doubront is playing as well.

OK, so I guess Meneses isn't a pending MLFA then. Interestingly, he's played mostly 3B after having played 5 games there in his entire career previously, all in Mexico.

Will someone be doing a piece on where everyone is headed? If not, or if no date is set, I'll gather up the relevant club/league tweets as I have not tweeted all of them.

Think they generally do later on during the WL season with articles on how each Sox prospect is doing.. Updates on how each kid is doing, believe weekly in various WL's, tho don't remember who it is that does them.

Denyi Reyes playing for Escogido in the DR.
By the way, the propensity for winter teams to not release their rosters until basically opening day continues to be a source of completely unjustified fury and frustration for me.

Fall/Winter recaps should start on the News Page next week, hopefully. In the meantime, you can always check up on things at www.soxprospects.com/fall-winter.htm. Mexico has been going for a while (Meneses has a lot of PT, and Wilson has played in one game), and the Sox have had a couple guys make their first appearances of the winter in Nicaragua (both got hit hard). The DR list isn't that intriguing, but PR should be when they get started next month, even just with Duran.
