Hey Roberto, are you going to be able to see him play? Is he doing good so far? How can we get our hand on any cards or giveaways they might do with Juan on them??

[JuanGone]

cool thanks for the info. is it like a legit minor league team that could be found on minorleaguebaseball.com or is it like a private/independent league or what?

[adelith]

I'll certainly be able to see him play, he had a great season in the minor league. The double a league of Puerto Rico does not produce many cards however they do make a lot of promotion through their sponsors, so whatever they do I'll try to get it in enough amount to supply you guys!

So I'm guessing that this is just kind of for fun, and not really a comeback attempt?
