December 19, 2012 Minor League UpdateGames of December 18It was an interesting night in the Dominican Winter League. This kid named Miguel Sano went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts. He must be terrible, right? Wait a minute. I'll search the internet and find some info on him. Oh, never mind. He hit 28 homers in Lo-A ball as a 19 year-old and those prospect geeks here at Baseball Prospectus are supposedly ranking him in the Top 25 of their upcoming Top 101 Prospects List. Must’ve been an off night. I also noticed that this guy named Manny had four hits in his game. Figured he must be in this top 101, too. He wasn’t. It turns out he's an older guy that debuted in the majors way before the invention of prospect ranking. More notable performances from La Liga de Beisbol Dominicano

'Hank White'
I would love it if all foreign names were translated as such.
Snappy work you're doing with this column, keep it up!
I always liked "Pete Happy".
My favorite was Joe Table ... just simple ...
I remember when Willie Greene was having trouble getting a job because of a supposed bad attitude, and someone suggested he resurface as power hitting third baseman Guillermo Verde.
Love it. English to Spanish name translations can be just as awesome!
