Arizona Fall League Update

Evan Longoria, Travis Snider and Sergio Santos are powering a Scottsdale Scorpions surge while two international teams have been added to the AFL Team China and Team USA have been added to the AFL schedule. Team USA will play 6 games against Arizona Fall League opponents before heading to Taiwan for the IABF World Cup from Nov. 6-18. That international tournament will provide a tuneup ? and a core group of players ? for the most important competition: the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Team China is playing in the AFL for the same purpose. Team USA features such rising stars as Colby Rasmus, Delwyn Young, Andy Laroche and Jeff Karstens.
