One more winter league ended its regular season yesterday and the two Astros playing in the Mexican Pacific League both had excellent winter campaigns:
Leo Heras
Playing for Jalisco, Heras hit .289/.429/.513 with 20 doubles, two triples, nine home runs and 38 RBI in 64 games. He drew 55 walks while striking out 58 times. Heras also swiped 14 bags and was caught four times.
Gonzalo Sanudo
Sanudo appeared in 27 games for Culiacan and ended with a 3-1 record, 0.64 ERA and 0.953 WHIP. He walked eight batters and struck out 34 in 28.1 innings of work.

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.
ARIZONA FALL LEGAUE - PLAY STARTS 10/8

RHP Jonas Dufek
RHP Matt Heidenreich
RHP Andrew Robinson
LHP Alex Sogard
1B Japhet Amador
SS Nolan Fontana
3B Jonathan Meyer
*OF Delino DeShields
*DeShields is being converted from 2B to OF.
CARIBBEAN WINTER LEAGUE
Liga Venezuela Beisbol Profesional starts 10/10

Liga de Beisbol Profesional Roberto Clemente (Puerto Rico) - usually starts in early November
Liga Paralela (Venezuelan Minor League)

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.

UPDATE: Jimmy Paredes was not in the line-up for the Gigantes again last night. According to this article, his wife had surgery (spleen) due to an injury received in Saturday's car accident in the Dominican Republic involving Paredes, Jean Segura (Brewers) and Ivan Contreras (Rangers). Paredes' left arm was injured in the crash, but from all accounts, the injury appears to be minor.
