Of course this year we will hear more about the instructional league than normal because of the presence of Tim Tebow. This is good news however, as we hope to keep tabs on guys like Planck and Kay as well as guys coming back from injury like Blake Taylor, Marcos Molina and Luis Carpio. Molina missed the entire year while Taylor and Carpio missed a majority of the season.
It will also be interesting to see how guys like Gimenez, Guerrero, Beracierta, Moreno, Campusano, and Acosta do in their first taste of baseball stateside.
The purpose of the instructional league is to refine the skills of young players, rehab players with injuries, and get some players ready for the Arizona Fall League.
