Venezuela Winter League Action

IIRC, Aaron Heilman will be pitching in this league as a starter to get used to being a starter again. I know for a fact, from the FAN, that he will doing this somewhere, though I could be wrong on what league it is.

So, how's Aaron doing?

Heilman is starting for the Licey Tigers in the Dominican League, not in Venezuela. His last start seems to have been the 28th; he's 1-1, 3.72 His teammates include Anderson Hernandez, manny Aybar, Heath Bell and Pedro. [url]http://www.licey.com/[/url]

Check the Dominican Winter League thread--it's full of fun-filled stats from all your favorite Mets players!

Apparently, Jake is playing for Los Llanos in the VWL, however. He's batting .240/.367/.400 in 50 at bats and drove in 4 runs with a pair of doubles yesterday. Craig Brazell is batting .271/.302/.322 with 14 K in 59 AB. That's a terrible, terrible line. Ramon Castro is batting .316/.409/.368 in 19 AB. Michael Restovich (former Twins farmhand who migrated to Colorado then somewhere else) has a rather impressive .357/.446/.607 line in 56 AB. He's pretty young and I think is a minor league free agent this year. Supposedly terrible defensively, however.

Here's a link that will tell you how much of your high school Spanish you still remember. It contains a link to a PDF of the box score of the game that Rotblatt mentioned: http://www.lvbp.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1059 Later

Petit made his first start last night after working 3 innings out of the pen. His cumulative stats: 1.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 9 IP, 8 H, 4 BB, 6 K, 1 HR Brazell's doing even worse in limited time. Cumulative: .242/.282/.288/.570 OPS Castro: .300/.391/.350/.741 OPS--he's had only 1 extra base hit in 20 at bats. Jake: .238/.371/.350/.721 OPS--13 BB to 19 K in 80 at bats. That's a lotta K's but the walks are nice.

Petit has pitched once, going 6 innings and allowing only one earned run on 6 hits. He struck out 7. Cumulative: 15 IP, 1.20 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 13 K, 4 BB, 1 HR Brazell hasn't played since I last posted and neither has Castro. Jake, meanwhile, is sucking. 87 AB, .218 AVG/.364 OBP/.322 SLG/.686 OPS, 16 BB, 22 K Where'd his power go?

At least he's walking some.

Rotblatt Nov 28 2005 11:34 AM

Petit has pitched once, and got hit hard, giving up 6 hits (including 2 HR) & 2 runs over 3.67 IP, walking none & K'ing 2. Cumulative stats: 18.67 IP, 1.93 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 15 K, 4 BB, 3 HR Brazell hasn't played since I last posted. I just discovered that Castro isn't in the VWL after all--it's some other Ramon Castro who plays shortstop. So ignore all those other RC updates. Jake got another 8 at bats, strking out once and apparently getting a hit or two to raise his line to: 95 AB, .232 AVG/.365 OBP/.326 SLG/.691 OPS, 16 BB, 23 K I'll continue to update on Jake & Petit, since I imagine y'all are as curious as I am.

So much for Petit turning into a pumpkin now that he's no longer a Met. 7 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 5 K, 1 BB Cumulative: 25.67 IP, 1.75 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 20 K, 5 BB No updates for the others.
