Jim Rice enters the OFA fold with the Astros taking him 1st overall ahead of Juan Gonzalez and Justin Morneau.
A trio of familiar NeL names also join the league, and I'll be keeping tabs on
Wade Johnston,
Bill "Orville" Riggins and
Joseph "Gentry" Jessup to see how they fare over oncoming seasons.
The LL for this year is Venezuelan-born infielder
Carlos Gonzales, who briefly appeared in the 2006 DR Summer League as part of the Rangers organization before vanishing without a trace.
