The weekly Eric Justic article updating winter league performances with his usual omissions:
Venezuelan Winter League
LHP Victor Garate: hasn’t pitched since those initial three appearances, not unusual for younger guys who often get bumped from the roster as older players join clubs as the season wears on.
UTIL Cesar Quintero: no hits in three additional at-bats to drop his BA to .412 (14-34) after 14 games.
Dominican Winter League
RHP Zeke Astacio: One run allowed in three IP during the week to drop his ERA to 6.48 for the season (6 earned runs in 8.1 IP).
OF Ervin Alcantara: no additional plate appearances during the week.
RHP Roberto Giron: blitzed for 6 runs in 5.2 IP of work over the past seven days, pushing his ERA to 3.68 for the season (14.2 IP).
RHP Ronnie Martinez: allowed a run in 2.1 innings of work to bump his ERA to 3.00 on the season (9 IP).
RHP Jailen Peguero: no earned runs allowed in 3.1 frames during the week to drop his ERA to 0.73 (12.1 IP).
As noted previously, some of the players mentioned above and in the article are minor league free agents who might not be with the organization next season. Also, the article notes that C Lou Santangelo’s AFL season was cut short when he returned home to be with his pregnant wife.
