Some random jai alai notes……………………..

Santiso has looked much better since his return. A lot better movement and an improved right side.

I’ve always thought Cavier has been overlooked and you can usually get good value on him from a wagering perspective. Doesn’t do anything that stands out but has a nice overall game.

How good can Aritz (who plays as Erkiaga in the Basque land) become? He has a silky smooth style and is fearless. Good catching from both sides as well.

When is Dania going to but their ties with Carlvauho? He plays a very lazy style and constantly runs around the forehand. His right side is nonexistent and makes little effort to get to balls out of his immediate area. A shadow of his former self, that’s for sure.

Its obvious Anndy doesn’t have what it takes. I imagine he’ll be off the roster after this season. Could be a nice addition to the Ocala/Orlando roster perhaps.

Medrano is just the man, playing great the past couple of seasons.

Miguel is still an exciting player to watch. Formally one of Newport’s best the backcourter has seen a lot of injuries throughout his career, including a bad accident. He still climbs the wall with the best of them and gives great effort.

I like Alejandro’s swagger lately. He is playing free and confident and is much improved over the last year. His rebote is a nice weapon in singles.

Gorrono has always played a very sound “textbook” style game, and he does it well. He is putting together another solid season.

I like Jairo’s game. He has great numbers across the board and is one of the class players in the Dania early group.

If Laruent could play consistent jai alai he would be dangerous. Just to many ill timed remate attempts and shots into the pad.

Chasio and Ulises, who are probably early/middle game players on a solid roster, but they are doing a great job in this feature game group. They don’t embarrass themselves, they catch and return solidly.

I think both Garita and Aizpitarde are two nice, young backcourters. They should be around the game a long time and both have late game potential if they continue to develop. Aizpitarde is growing up against a tough group of players and you see it accelerating his development. Just to many drops for Garita but he is getting better and the effort is there.

Echeva is solid. Good catcher from both sides. Not a lot of power but effective for the earlies. That’s all from HOV. Bye bye from Jai Alai!
