DSL Giants (Rookie)
The roster is now set. The season began a few weeks ago, but official word travels slow. There are new names on the roster, but not sure if they are new signees or players never publicly revealed before. Some notable moves:
-Released since end of last year (confirmed): RHP Wilme Almanzar,  RHP Rey Ciriaco, RHP Jose Luna, RHP Prebito Reyes, RHP Reymi Rodriguez, C Jose Morles, C Alizon Rodriguez, INF Marco Guzman, OF Yendrys Gonazlez
-Signed since end of last year (confrimed): RHP Abel Adames, RHP Camilo Doval, RHP Miguel Figueroa, RHP Johan Herrera, RHP Jose Marte, RHP Willian Suarez, C Angeddy Almanzar, INF Robinson Batista, INF Wascar De Leon, OF Franlin Labour, OF Ismael Munguia
Other notes: Jasier Herrera (Colombia) and Johan Herrera (Dominican Republican) probably aren't brothers

Further note:
I've purged some of the names off the unknown list that are no longer showing in the MiLB database as part of the Giants roster.
