FEPCUBE manager Brayan Peña was giddy today I asked him about the new editions to his squad. Today’s incorporations to his roster solidified his bullpen and gave him an embarrassing amount of riches in his infield two days before an exhibition game against a very underrated Miami-Dade College squad.
Francisley Bueno and Elih Villanueva are guys that can either start or relieve, while Ariel Miranda could possibly be the ace of the squad. Raidel Orta and Amaury Tamayo are live young arms that can get outs from the pen.
When I asked him today about how his bullpen was reinforced by these editions he had this to say,” We are excited and our bullpen is conforming very well. Our guys came in today and they really showed us they are ready to eat up innings and compete, that is one of the things that really captivated me.”

Talented infielders “Coco” Montes, Luis Avilés,Jr and Luis Medina also joined the federation’s roster and are significant editions to an already ultra-talented infield. No wonder Peña is happy to see reinforcements come to an already loaded team.
Peña had plenty of good things to say about these editions,” They looked very good and we appreciate their presence with us. They are already in game shape that is really exciting to us.
Montes made his big league debut last season with the Colorado Rockies and hit a solid .320 with the Águilas Cibaeñas this winter. Avilés has been in the system of major league organization for 10 years and has plenty of experience in the winter leagues. Medina has played for the Pericos de Puebla and Tabasco of the Liga Mexicana de Béisbol this season.
