When the Cardinals announced plans to send Bryan Anderson to the Puerto Rican League, they also were excited to talk about righthander P.J. Walters.

"My command's got to get a little better than it was, and it has since I got here," said the 23-year-old Walters, who had 18 strikeouts and four walks in his first 152⁄3 innings while pitching for Carolina. "(At Memphis), I had too many walks and that led to a big inning."

Why does Yadi still play winter ball?

Lots of Latin American big leaguers play winter ball. The Alomar brothers were still playing there when Sandy was a multi-time All Star and Roberto was heading towards a first-ballot Hall of Fame induction. Just a cultural thing.
