Subject: Federal League Selects Rookie Player of the Month
Juan Aponte is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Federal League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers.
In April the Louisville third baseman tagged opposing pitching for a .281 average with 25 hits, 2 home runs and 11 RBIs.

Fernando Candelaria was a supporter of Aponte from the first day. My confidence in our new scout is growing.
