Licey has problems

[NewsWhore]

With only hours before Dominican players are required to deposit their passports at the Mexican Embassy in the DR, the Tigres del Licey, which will be representing the DR at the Serie del Caribe in Mexico, has yet to complete its roster. Four of its pitchers Ervin Santana, Ubaldo Jimenez, Daniel Cabrera and Carlos Marmol have still not decided whether they will play and a fifth pitcher, Jorge Sosa's passport is at the US Embassy.
