Cespedes comes alive in Dominican League

Cuban slugger Yoenis Cespedes lived up to the hype last week in the Dominican League as it was his game-winning RBI double that allowed Aguilas Cibaenas to a win over the favored Licey Tigres and earn a berth in the finals against Escogido Leones…

Aguilas, written off by many after falling four games behind in the semifinal round robin series, won their final six games anchored by an offense led by Cespedes, Brandon Moss, Miguel Tejada, Joaquin Arias and Hector Luna along with strong late-inning relief work from Miguel Batista, who saved the last five games…

Led by Andy Dirks, Julio Lugo, Pablo Ozuna and Mauro Gomez, Escogido had clinched its final series berth earlier in the round robin and will rely on its rotation of Francisco Liriano, Nelson Figueroa, Jordan Norberto and Kris Johnson in the finals… Escogido, the 2009-10 Dominican League champions, will continue to count on Jose Cabrera and Fernando Rodney to shore up the bullpen in the finals.

Francisco Liriano

Isn't he a wee bit fragile to be pitching during the winter?
