THE LINEUP

Also at BaseballAmerica.com.

In stunning news, one of the top prospects in the Red Sox farm system passed away on Wednesday from complications from cancer.

One of the top young outfielders in Cuba has left the island to try to sign with an MLB team.

Today’s 30 Days of Giveaways prize is a prize pack from Rawlings that includes a Velo bat, a Velo backpack and Workhorse batting gloves.

Newsmakers from Wednesday’s action:

It was a light night around winter baseball with no Arizona Fall League or Dominican winter league games.

Seth Frankhoff, RHP, Mariners. Frankhoff, a recent waiver claim of the Mariners from the Cubs, lowered his Venezuelan winter league ERA to 2.87 with five scoreless innings. Frankoff has struck out 14 batters in 15.2 innings.

Bryce Brentz, OF, Red Sox. Brentz is off to a great start in the Mexican Pacific League. He went 2-for-3 last night with a double and two walks. He has six home runs so far in only 79 MPL at-bats.
