Venezuelan League Preview


The Venezuelan Winter League starts today.  The regular season runs through December 30, followed by playoffs.  Here's a quick look at the teams.  Be aware that the fact that a player is listed on someone's roster does not mean that he'll actually play much, if at all.  Also, mlb.com does not list rosters for half the teams.  This either means that the league is even less organized than usual or that mlb.com is asleep at the switch.
