The LBPRC (Puerto Rican Winter League) had their rookie draft today - Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz was selected third overall by Gigantes de Carolina.
Looks like Kutter Crawford will play for Estrellas Orientales in LIDOM (Dominican Winter League).

Glad to see both of these guys getting some work in the winter. I’ve been waiting to see Rodriguez-Cruz get some action in, and Crawford could obviously use the work.
Crawford figures to probably be up at some point next year, I think it’s definitely important he gets some more innings before that point.

FWIW, I'd be a bit surprised if they let ERC pitch in PR this winter.
Had been meaning to start this thread to keep notes that were also available for those who wished to see. Sticking with LBPRC, here's who else is on the team reserve lists (doesn't mean they're going to play): Caguas: Juan Montero, Matthew Lugo, Jose de Leon, Yacksel Rios Mayaguez: Alan Marrero, Jeremy Rivera RA12: Henry Nunez Carolina: Kiké Hernandez, Jose Espada Santurce roster is broken

Meanwhile, in the DR, in their draft, Gigantes del Cibao drafted Gilberto Jimenez in the 4th round and Águilas Cibaeñas drafted Jonathan Díaz in the 16th round.

I guess it wouldn’t make sense to have his first professional experience be outside the club like that. Would you expect any of the other names you listed to play at all?

They being the Red Sox.
I presume most of those other guys will play if healthy, save for Kiké.

Derrick Loop failed to ring a bell, which surprised me as I spend what may be too much time on this site - but .... he is 38 and last played in the system 10+ years ago so I'll give myself a pass..... and say 'Go get them Mr Loop!'

Was signed out of indy ball and was in High-A and Double-A for a bit, I think. Had a tremendous pickoff move to the point that it was kind of his calling card.

Looks like Victor Santos might be playing with Leones del Escogido in LIDOM this winter.

Is there any thought of using the Fall/Winter leagues page as the home page during the offseason, since ranking don't really change and those guys are the only ones to check in on?

Also looks like Denyi Reyes will be playing for Escogido again.

Not that the Red Sox have had anyone of note down there for some time, but the Australian Baseball League has been called off for the coming year.

Yet another item to file under the "don't trust winter league websites" file.
LMP: Jorge Rodriguez just made his debut for Hermosillo with a scoreless inning. MLFA to be Joey Meneses is back with Culiacán.

So, am I crazy, or is the background for the header of the LMP site a digital Fenway Park? Like that's clearly "a" Citgo sign, if not "the" Citgo sign, beyond left field of a ballpark. www.lmp.mx/#

Went into the source code, and it's apparently Minute Maid Park but with the Citgo Sign... EDIT: Apparently there was a Citgo sign there from about 2012 to 2015.
