Braves Playing in Caribbean Winter Leagues

I had asked the Braves PR staff for a list of the organization's players who would be playing winter baseball, and they got back to me today with the list below; I thought I'd pass it along. I've already detailed the players who are toiling away in the AFL and Hawaii here, so the list below is just the guys who are participating in the four Caribbean Winter Leagues. We apparently have no one playing in Puerto Rico this year.

I'm going to the DR this month

I’ll see a few games en Estadio Quisqueya. It will be awesome!

That sounds awesome, I’d love to do that one day. I believe one of the bloggers at Rowland’s Office went to the DR a couple of years ago; he did a photo journal that was pretty cool — I think it’s still online somewhere.

Is this trip “official” business or just pleasure?

Both business and pleasure

I’ll be taking photos too. I’ll post some when I get back if you want me to. Leaving the 28th and coming back the 3rd.

plane ticket from Miami – $320
Hotel in Santo Domingo – $10 a night (seriously)
taking photos of the Licey and Aguilas Bailerinas – FREE
Crossing something off my life list – Priceless
