2003 Dominican Summer League Red Sox Season Ending Report
Team 1: 28-38 Team 2: 23-44
How did we do?
Sadly, by record, pretty badly.
The Red Sox team in the largest division (Santo Domingo East) came in 7th of 8 teams (in a virtual tie for 6th with Detroit, who played 2 more games) at 28-38. Only the co-op team of Arizona and Montreal proved worse in this league. Boston ended the season 18.5 games out of first place (the FULL Arizona team)
The second team participated in the 6 team Santo Domingo North, and came in 6th. They ended the season with a record of 23-44, and was 19.5 games back of one of two Oakland teams.
However, poor records should not necessarily put a damper on looking at potential prospects... as there are some.
Players
First, a couple of notes...
1) I haven't seen these players. I have no defensive stats for these players. I have no idea how they look. I can only base my opinions solely on the stats provided 2) I am lumping the two teams together. 3) I don't know ages... and this may change certain evaluations
Offensive Player of the Year:
Carlos Torres
He appears to be a corner infielder, but he is the best overall hitter in the Red Sox DSL system. His numbers: .261/.380/.420/.800 His numbers fell a bit during the last couple of weeks, but he is the only player to show real power (10 doubles, 8 HRs (29% of the total HRs by BOTH TEAMS)), with the ability to take a walk (33). He also showed some speed with 8 stolen bases.
Pitcher of the Year:
Mario Peña
This could have been Gary Galvez who ended the year with a slightly lower ERA... but Mario had a lower RA and this tremendous Stat: In 74 2/3 innings, he struck out 70 batters while walking ONLY 4. His final line: 4-5, 1.93 ERA, 3.01 RA, 0.84 WHIP, 8.44 K/9, 17.5 K/BB
Other players who might make the jump to the US next year:
Offense
- Manuel Arambarris: He was a 16 year old last year in the VSL, and took nice strides in the DSL this year. He was signed as a third baseman. Final stats: .282/.347/.338/.685, 7 Doubles, 2 Triples, 17 walks, 4 SBs
- Cesar Gutierrez: Another VSL refuge who showed the ability to occasionally get a hit... which is great, because he already showed he could walk (in the VSL, he batted .110 with a .360 OBP!). Final Stats: .253/.403/.308/.711, 5 Triples, 29 Stolen Bases
- Christian Lara: Another speedster who walks, like Cesar Gutierrez. Final Stats: .273/.365/.309/.674, 7 Doubles, 35 Walks, 24 Stolen Bases
- Yaguel Rodriguez: Limited time (Only 68 ABs)... so, he might start the year in the DSL. But, he had some nice numbers in limited time: .309/.440/.382/.822, 5 Doubles, 14 Walks, 4 Stolen bases
- Renan Ramos: Yet another VSL product... he didn't show anything different than the VSL... but he did not regress either. Was another 16 year old last year. Has some power and a lot of patience... but no average. Final Stats: .212/.316/.297/.613, 9 Doubles, 3 Triples, 1 HR, 30 Walks, 13 Stolen Bases
- Jose Suarez: Another player with a less than full year... but a nice year nonetheless. Final Stats: .300/.394/.345/.739, 5 Doubles, 12 Walks
- Luis Mercedes: Limited time... Final Stats: .261/.369/.341/.710, 5 Doubles, 1 Triple, 11 Walks, 10 SBs
- Junior Moreno: Final Stats: .254/.308/.367/.675, 10 Doubles, 3 HRs
- Juan Carlos Cotuy: He has nothing BUT power. But the power is intriguing. Final Stats: .206/.232/.297/.529, 7 Doubles, 3 Triples, 2 HRs
Pitching
- Gary Galvez: Had a nasty start of the season and allowed a LOT of unearned runs in his first 2 or 3 games. Settled down for a very good year. Final Stats: 6-3, 1.64 ERA, 3.28 RA, 1.07 WHIP, 6.50 K/BB, 8.20 K/9
- Jimmy James: Had a really nice start before settling into som good stats. Final Stats: 3-2, 2.83 ERA, 4.05 RA, 1.13 WHIP, 1.71 K/BB, 5.54 K/9
- Yader Peralta: Final Stats: 1-2, 3.09 ERA, 3.90 RA, 1.14 WHIP, 2.59 K/BB, 7.16 K/9
- Espifanio Gomez: Final Stats: 1-3, 2.26 ERA, 2.91 RA, 1.10 WHIP, 2.77 K/BB, 5.82 K/9
- Francisco Brito: Final Stats: 2-4, 3.17 ERA, 4.82 RA, 1.30 WHIP, 2.50 K/BB, 6.89 K/9
A couple of others who might may make the jump: Remos Linares (VSL vet), Argenis Paulino, Wascar Cordero
