Lefty Hector Silva (CCJ)(8/7/7), with a $20+mmm contract, the southpaw better be performing, and he is! Pundits project a 6.9 season for the lifetime 133-game winner. The pride of Tapachula, which you'll find in SE Mexico. Silva is the highest-paid pitcher in the world.
Alonso 'Sandman' Amaya (DMO)(5/6/7) The fifth-year starter, and fifth in the rotation, from Guadalupe earns $2.8mm. Guadalupe, as in Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Southpaw António Santiago (CHA)(6/5/7) is 5-1, 4.11 and is number 4 in hot Charlotte's rotation.
#4 starter:
LHP Mauro Mendoza (DM)(6/5/5)
CLOSER
Sergio Tormes (MEX)(5/6/8) has already earned 18 saves through June 4, which projects to, wow, 80! Sometimes those ironman constitutions pay off. Tormes led the JL in saves last season. He pitched for LV, BRK, and RCK beforehand. A steal at <$1mm.
STOPPER
Félix Vidaca (BIK)(9/7/7). This guy is a former starter and earns $6mm. He is in his 16th BBA campaign, and has a lifetime 38.4 WAR. From northern MX City.
Other RPs
RHP Felix Camarco (MEX)(7/6/4)(20.2 IP)
RHP Eduardo Cadibid (LOU)(4/5/6)(29.1 IP)
RHP Enrique Aguilar (BIK)(7/5/7)(15.2 IP)
RHP Félix Féliz (BRK)(5/6/6). From the state of Jalisco.
OFFENSE
C Enrique Mendoza (HAW)(.257-3-20 in 37 starts)
C Carlos Marcillas (TWC)(.190-4-19 in 48 starts) 26-year-old switch hitter
Defensive Rplcment: C Luis 'Shameless' Gonzáles (VAL)(.171-2-14 in 46 starts). Guy's a defensive force.
1B José 'Sooner' Gómez (SA)(7/5/4)(.266-6-25). Bats leadoff vs righties in the SA lineup, and why not? He leads the Running Outlaws with 3 stolen bases.
A lot of these Mexicans are talented in both the INF and OF, so I have assigned some guys according to their ranking and not just according to where they're playing this season.
2B Javier Cardona (CPF)(.167-1-5) Yeah, these stats is why he's been relegated to the Cape Fear bench after 45 starts. From La Paz (Peace), the capital of Baja California Sur.
SS Júlio Martínez (MEX)(6/3/4) The current starting Cfer for the Aztecs flies to short for this national team, although he hasn't started played a game there in his 4-year career. He's started 36 this season at center and 4 at second, and is hitting .235-1-18.
3B Francisco Calderón (NSH)(5/7/7) Third-year stud out of Acapulco. .314-10-25. So far, he's got 54 starts at third, his third year as the Bluebirds' third sacker.
OUTFIELD
LF Federico 'Kiki' Linares (RMO)(5/6/4) $8mm man, awesome outfielder who's also seen some time at second and short. 2 time All Star
Disqualified:
OF Ben Graybill (CHA)(5/7/5) This 22-y.o. in his sophomore did his best to get on the team, but when it was discovered he was born in Chula Vista, CA he was disqualified. His second nationality is listed as Mexican. Exciting young player.
CF Luis Morales (RMO)(4/6/6) Off to a slow start at the plate (.191-1-9), he's another solid starting defender. From Texcoco, MéX, greater Mexico City.
RF Alfonso Gonzáles (NSH)(POT 6/8/9) From Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City), is hitting .312-10-45. Steals 40 bases a year, maybe 50 this season. A left-handed thrower in right. De hecho (in fact), I might switch him to left and have Linares at right.
UTL António Hernández (MTL)(5/5/4). Another guy better with the glove than at the plate. From Xochihuehuetlan (Sho-chee-weh-weh-tlahn), a farming community.
UTL2 Lúcio Hernández (VAN) From Tetlanohcan, TLA, a town of 10,000 at the base of a dormant volcano.
DH Vicente Rivera (VAL)(6/6/8*) He's batting .312-5-21 at cleanup for the Stars.
DH2 Pedro 'Pocket Rocket' Hozven (BOI) .319-10-28 in 135 ABs
CAPITÁN DEL EQUIPO (team capn)
CPT Juan Donéstevez #7 (NO)(5/5/5) Now in his third decade with the Crawdads, the 41-year-old legend has started 2500+ games and has a 162-game-average of .312-30-99 [92.6 cum. WAR). 11-time All Star! 3 short of 800 home runs.
Vamos, México! Vamos, México! Vamos, vamos, vamos, México!
Let me know if I have left anyone out.
