冬季聯盟結束後的虎將們
The Tigers wrapped up their winter season with a few players reaching the final
s of their leagues, and another player switching not only leagues, but countrie
s.
Licey's trip to the Dominican League finals meant an extended season for at lea
st one Tigers player, but the most prominent Detroiter in winter ball had since
wrapped up.
First baseman Carlos Pena, who had played for Licey since early in the season,
finished up during round-robin semifinal play, as scheduled, to rest up for Spr
ing Training. The wear and tear of winter ball showed in his later statistics:
He went 1-for-22 in the semifinals with a home run, two RBIs, seven walks and e
ight walks.
With Pena out, another Tiger ended up putting on a hitting show in the Dominica
n, this time against Licey.
Alexis Gomez, whose rough start to the winter was compounded earlier this month
when he was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo, enjoyed a pair of multihit games in
the finals for Aguilas. He went 2-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in Game 1,
a 14-4 Aguilas rout, followed by another 2-for-4 performance with a sacrifice
fly in Game 4.
With Pena out, the only Tiger left on Licey's roster was reliever Roberto Novoa
. A dominant reliever at Double-A Erie last year, Novoa remains inconsistent ag
ainst big league hitting. After holding opponents to a run on seven hits over 4
1/3 innings in the semifinals, Novoa yielded a run on three hits in an inning
of work in Licey's Game 4 loss in the finals. He struck out two batters.
The Dominican League final series entered Friday tied at two games apiece.
Like Gomez, Byron Gettis will come to Tigers camp hoping to earn a reserve spot
in Detroit's outfield. Unlike Gomez, Gettis changed leagues in hopes of making
one more impression. After batting .347 for Mayaguez in the Puerto Rican Leagu
e, Gettis jumped over to Estrellas in the Dominican for postseason play. The le
ague change proved an adjustment, as Gettis struggled to a 3-for-24 performance
with a solo homer, one walk and six strikeouts.
Down in Venezuela, Omar Infante's Oriente Caribes finished one game out of qual
ifying for that league's finals. The young shortstop finished round-robin semif
inal play with a 7-for-43 performance over 10 games. He walked twice and struck
out 11 times.
