Are any MLB'ers currently in said league?

Other than Nando, there a lot of guys who had a cup of coffee or two in the bigs currently playing in the Mexican Pacific League, with a few names that you might have heard before (remember that Julio Franco had been playng in the Mexican Leagues for four years before the Braves signed him in 2001):

Mr. USC has been posting in this topic for the past 15 minutes, I'm expecting something good.

Fichten did not disappoint.

I believe that this guy also played in the Mexican Leagues at one time:

Calvin Pickering is the best name in baseball.

I believe Mike Defelice played against the Clippers when we saw them in C-Bus...But it could of been when I saw the Mets AA team play.
