History repeats itself, according to El Caribe. Aguilas and Licey meet again in the Dominican winter baseball playoffs, which start tonight in Santiago’s Cibao Stadium. Aguilas are favorites to win five out of nine possible games although concerns have been voiced about several players’ health. That is the case of Jose Offerman, Luis Castillo and Manny Martinez. On the other hand, players’ health is Licey’s strong point, led by Felix Fermin. Veterans Luis Polonia, Miguel Tejada and Tony Batista, as well as pitcher Jared Fernandez are key players in the Santiago team’s offensive. Aguilas demonstrated mastery over Licey in the regular series and the Round Robin.
