Haven't been keeping track. FWIW, the gal over at "What the Heck, Bobby" has been doing a good job of updating Winter League Rosters (here, here, and here), as well as Arizona Fall League misc., and status of Astros MiLBers in the Baseball World Cup.

Hope it helps!

BA had a nice write-up on Bogusevic today, focusing on his goals for the Dominican Winter League and how he met them.

Great piece, thanks for posting. I'm really pulling for Bogusevic.

I am, also.  He seems to have as good of a chance as anyone at making the club as a starter in the OF.  Barring a trade, Lee is a lock and Martinez is probably close (at least out of the gate), so he just has to beat out Wallace (keeping Lee at 1B) and Bourgeois and the Spring invites for a starting corner spot.  If he can keep the discipline and pop a few like the walkoff GS, he's a pretty intriguing player.

Don't forget Schafer.  I know it's easy, what with the substances that cause short-term memory loss and all.

Oh, I'm not forgetting him. Someone retweeted him the other day and he said he's going to be a better person and role model in '12, so I'm expecting big things. Really, I do consider him the front runner for CF, though.
