Diablos Rojos del Mexico is the team that I signed with when I turned pro in 1994. After spring training I was traded to the Veracruz Eagles. Diablos Rojos is a team with a lot of tradition and if you play profesional baseball in Mexico during the summer "Los Diablos" is the team to play for. Monterrey is another great team in the same league with as much as tradition as the Diablos Rojos.
