The seasons for many of the winter league clubs are starting to wind down. The Dominican Winter League finished up over the weekend. Here is the scoop on how your Astros fared. Click on the player's name to see their full winter stats line.
Asher Wojciechowski
Wojo had three great outings and two not-so-great outings for Licey. In five games (five starts), he had a 5.31 ERA and a 1.328 WHIP in 20.1 innings. He walked eight batters and struck out 22.
Richard Rodriguez
Rodriguez did a nice job in his five bullpen appearances for Aguilas. He was 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA and a 1.091 WHIP in 3.2 innings, walking one and striking out five.
Jonathan Villar
Villar also appeared for Aguilas. In 38 games, he hit .233/.310/.333 with four doubles and three home runs, walking 14 times while striking out 37.
Domingo Santana
Santana appeared in 36 games for Licey, hitting .284/.400/.422 with seven doubles, four triples and no home runs. He walked 17 times while striking out 44 times.
Ruben Sosa
Sosa also played for Licey, appearing in 29 games and hitting .231/.302/.308 with one double, one triple, two walks and six strikeouts. Sosa only had 39 at-bats in his 29 games as he was often used as a pinch runner or defensive replacement.
Teoscar Hernandez
Hernandez appeared in 34 games for the Toros, hitting .228/.279/.354 with four doubles and two home runs. Like Sosa, Hernandez was frequently used as a defensive replacement and/or pinch runner, but did manage to get 79 at-bats in. He walked five times and struck out 28 times.
Luis Flores
Flores, a catcher who was picked up in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft earlier this month, appeared in eight games for the Estrellas team, hitting .125/.300/.125 with two walks and five strikeouts.

Astros Players Participating in Fall and Winter League Baseball
As you know, Fall Instructional League is already underway and I posted that roster here. One addition to that roster was RHP Tyler Brunnemann who was sent to participate after the roster was published. The Arizona Fall League and the Caribbean and Australian Winter Leagues will be ramping up soon. I will update this ongoing roster of players as more information becomes available, but here is what I know now.

I have heard rumors of other Astros players who will be participating in the Liga Paralela, but I won't post those names until I have either seen confirmation from the Astros front office, from the players themselves or when their names show up on a published roster.
RHP Gonzalo Sanudo told me that he would be playing in Mexico this winter, but that was back in early August so we will see whether or not that is still the case.

DOMINICAN WINTER LEAGUE
Escogido over Aguilas 10-7
Jonathan Villar has mostly been relegated to pinch running duties this winter and such was the case again last night. He made the most of it, though, as he replaced the runner on first base, promptly stole second and third base on Tampa Bay's Fernando Rodney and then came home on a wild pitch. A short night's work, but a good night's work.

VENEZUELAN WINTER LEAGUE
Magallanes over Margarita 3-2
2B Jose Altuve went 2-for-4 and scored a run in Magallanes' win over Margarita.
DOMINICAN WINTER LEAGUE
Licey over Gigantes 7-3
Jimmy Paredes was still missing from the Gigantes lineup and since the Dominican Winter League ends on Friday, I wouldn't be surprised if he's been shut down for the season. RHP Jose Cisnero got the start for the Gigantes and only lasted a third of an inning against four batters and was charged with two unearned runs on one hit and a hit batsman. Also for the Gigantes, RHP Rhiner Cruz pitched one hitless inning of relief and allowed one walk with one strikeout and *RHP Enerio del Rosario pitched two-thirds of an inning with one strikeout.
All of the rest of the Astros Winter Leaguers had the day off.
