With the addition of 11 reinforcements, around 41 percent of the roster, and reducing the number of players for the 62nd National Baseball Series championship to just 16, the Lumberjacks of Las Tunas made official their team for the 1st Americas Series, to be held at the end of this month, in Nicaragua.
Las Tunas.- Both Abeysi Pantoja and Rodolfo Correa, pitching coach, are tasked with rebuilding the pitching staff given the integration of seven new arms; since only Eliánder Bravo, Alejandro Meneses, Rodolfo Díaz, Keniel Ferraz, and Alberto Pablo Civil made the grade from the green and red squad. With little time to prepare, the pitching trainers of the Balcón de Oriente must distribute roles to maintain the line of work that has made them two-time champions in a row.
Meanwhile, the "signings" in the position players section raise controversy about how necessary they can be. The registration of pieces in positions clearly well covered in the ninth from Las Tunas closes the doors to players with years of consecration in the local ranks. The possibility of stimulation and competitiveness can become proportional without adding players from other provinces.
