Carlos, thanks for the summaries! It's nice to see baseballguru expanding beyond Asia and MLB. Hope you keep these up all year! It's fun reading about ex-Bucs like Vicente Palacios and Ravello Manzanillo.
BTW, what happened to the Korean and Taiwanese correspondents baseballguru had last season? Oh well, it's nice seeing so many people volunteer whatever they can to provide the wonderful services here.
