Christian lighting it up in winter ball

There were no Arizona Fall League games today, but here’s what happened yesterday…

AzFL Phoenix Desert Dogs (12-6 loss to Mesa)
Jose Pirela, 2B: 2 for 4, 3 R – seven for his last 18 (.389) after an 0-for-20 stretch
Ryan Pope: 0.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1-0 GB/FB – 18 of 32 pitches were strikes (56.3%) … that’s his first walk of the AzFL season

Time for the other winter leagues…

Still no sign of Juan Marcano, Emerson Landoni, Eduardo Sosa, and Jesus Montero, all of whom are playing in the VWL. Montero might still be taking it easy after his late season leg surgery. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Jon Albaladejo is also playing in the PRL, but hasn’t appeared in a game yet.
