Updates Out Of Nicaragua




The Nicaraguan Prospect League official site is covering the National Championship which begins on January 31. I may add this into the Cardinals Winter League Notebooks, depending on the coverage.

Recently released DSL pitcher Walter Santos and former DSL Cardinal catcher Edgar Montiel are expected to play for Boer. If nobody caught my past posts, Montiel was awarded 'Rookie of the Year' in the Nicaraguan Summer League. The left-handed reliever, Santos has been getting some attention from the San Francisco Giants and Seattle Mariners organizations during the winter.

Former DSL Cardinal Edwin Conde is not at this time listed on any of the teams for the National Championship.

Newly signed Cardinal, Jem Argenal expressed his desire to play in the National Championship, but nothing came of it.

As some may know at the end of the Nicaraguan Prospect League, Cheslor Cuthbert apparently quit playing. Word is his representive was upset with the league and pulled him from participation. He is currently held up training for summer play. Cuthbert, who will be available for signing this coming July, is attracting a lot of attention but it's said the Pittsburgh Pirates are the favorites to sign him.
