Graduation Day

Today was graduation day for the Latin players who have been taking English classes all season.  Many people don't realize that they take classes in the morning all summer long, well before the rest of the players arrive to the ballpark.  The dedication from these players is remarkable, not only towards baseball but in becoming engrained in the American culture that they are very much a part of.

Congratulations to the guys who have done an excellent job learning the English language and culture, and well done on their presentation today.

Those that were part of the ceremony today include:

Victor Capellan
Eury De La Rosa
Raywilly Gomez
Jhoan Pimentel
Ramon Castillo
Gerson Montilla
Ender Inciarte
Roberto Rodriguez

Today's Roster Move

Just was told Raywilly Gomez was put on the DL, retroactive to August 1st, with a sore wrist. 

No corresponding move is expected.
