I can get Dominican Stats but need the Indians to provide me roster info.</div> <bR> <div> There is one player at San Felipe ( Cleveland's Venezuelan team) who's stats just jump out at you at first glance. I will be asking the Indians about this guy in the next week. His name is <B>Eider Torres</B> and check out these final stats: 216 at-bats, .398 batting average, 38 walks and only 11 strikeouts, 41 out of 47 stolen bases, an OPS of 1.030. All I know right now is that he is an infielder and is 18 years old, in his second year at San Felipe. I know numbers don't always tell the whole story about young ballplayers, but these are exceptional, and it's not like he is one of the older players there. San Felipe has some other players with some gaudy numbers, which makes sense since they went 46-11 during the regular season before losing in the finals.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
