PUERTO RICAN SEASON TO BEGIN THIS WEEK, PUDGE TO PLAY FOR CAGUAS

The reformed Puerto Rico League will open their 2008-09 season later this week after taking last winter off due to financial troubles. There are six teams slated to play this season, including the Caguas Creoles. The Creoles lineup will include catcher Ivan Rodriguez for two weeks in November and one in December. Rodriguez, a likely future Hall of Famer who finished the recently-concluded Major League season with the New York Yankees, has not played winter ball in Puerto Rico for ten years.

The season will begin Thursday night when Santurce takes on Carolina.
