MURILLO BACK WITH MONTERREY FOR 2010 SEASON

The Mexican Pacific League’s Most Valuable Player for 2008-09, Agustin Murillo, will be back with the Monterrey Sultanes this season after spending last summer with Reno of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League.

The Tijuana-born Murillo, who turns 28 in May, hit .275 in 76 games for the Aces in 2009 on the heels of his Hector Espino Trophy-winning winter with the Obregon Yaquis in which he led the LMP with 87 hits and finished third in the batting race with a .345 average along with 11 homers, 12 stolen bases and a Mex Pac record 30 doubles.

Murillo has played for Mexico in two Caribbean Series and the 2009 World Baseball Classic.
