Dominican League Preview

This was written Sunday night, so it's possible some things have changed since then.

There are six teams in the Dominican League, whose season starts tonight.  They play a fifty-game schedule, with each team playing each of the other teams ten times.  Last year, four teams made the playoffs and played an eighteen-game round robin.  The two top teams then play a best-of-nine series to determine the champion.

Rosters were unavailable when this was written.  Here's a look at the teams and their managers.
