The 2011 Fall Instructional League gets underway tomorrow September 14th out in Goodyear, Arizona. Over a span of a month around 50 players will participate in weight training and conditioning drills, on-field instruction, and play in 13 games until it wraps up on Friday October 14th.

This is really the first time a lot of the 2011 Draft class and some key Latin signings from the last year get exposed to the spring training environment and also the player development staff has time to sit down and work on things with them.

This will be the first opportunity to see right-handed pitcher Dillon Howard pitch, or to see shortstop Francisco Lindor play and practice on a daily basis. It will allow other late signings like catcher Eric Hasse, right-handed pitcher Shawn Armstrong, left-hander Shawn Morimando and others to continue to get some games and practice in since they missed so much time this season. Some of their recent high level international signings like infielder Dorssys Paulino and outfielder Anthony Santander will get a chance to play stateside for the first time. Also, some players are there to continue in their rehabs from major surgery, players like right-handed pitcher Robbie Aviles and right-handed pitcher Danny Salazar.

The Parallel League - or more commonly known as Advanced Instructional League - will be back for a third season this year. Details regarding the schedule and who will play in the league are unknown at this time, though I do know that players like outfielder Carlos Moncrief, infielder Tyler Cannon, etc will be on the roster.

Here is the Instructional League roster and schedule:
