Around the Farm: November 26

Ezequiel Carrera

Around the Farm (ATF) takes a quick look at some of the daily performances by Indians prospects. This is a special winter ball version of ATF that recaps all the offseason action by Indians players in the Caribbean Leagues.  The positions listed below are where the player was playing in the game.

Here is the rundown of what Indians players in winter ball did yesterday.

Venezuelan Winter League

• Jesus Aguilar (1B, Leones del Caracas): 0-for-4, K. Aguilar proves to be human with an 0-fer in his fourth game of action out in Venezuela. His manager hitting him in the cleanup spot is a clear show of faith in his abilities to be a consistent run producer.
• Luis Valbuena (2B, Cardenales de Lara): 2-for-5, 2B, 2 RBI, K. Valbuena celebrated his new beginning in a new organization with a productive night at the plate. Good luck to Louie V. with the Blue Jays….it did not work out well for him in Cleveland but maybe it will in Toronto.
• Ezequiel Carrera (CF, Navegantes del Magallanes): 2-for-5, R, RBI. That is now two straight multi-hit games for Carrera and three in his last five games, so maybe his two week slump is coming to an end.
