Around the Farm: December 7

Asdrubal Cabrera

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.

A small update today as several players were not in action on Wednesday night. With that in mind I will take a quick moment to note that Ubaldo Jimenez is expected to make his debut with Licey out in the Dominican Republic on December 20^th.

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

Colombia Winter League

• Giovanny Urshela (3B, Cartagena Tigres): 1-for-4, R, 2B. Urshela continues to play every day in Colombia and has not done much yet in 9 games hitting just .206 (7-for-34).

Venezuelan Winter League

• Asdrubal Cabrera (DH, Leones de Caracas): 3-for-4, 3 R, 2B. Cabrera makes his debut in Venezuela in strong fashion scoring 3 runs and getting 3 hits. He is not expected to play much winter ball action, maybe 2-3 weeks, but is off to a great start playing ball in his home country.
