March 15, 200620 yr I have no idea who is suppose to be playing this year at B-ham. Do you have any idea?
March 15, 200620 yr It's tough to tell at this time, really. It's usually a domino effect down from big league camp, but probably a rough mixture of FA's, Bhamers from last year and Warthogs from last year.
March 15, 200620 yr We'll have a really good idea in about 2 weeks, but its going to be tough to tell, especially with the Sox signing quite a few veterans for Charlotte (in order to make them more competitive). You should see Ray Liotta, Broadway and eventually Tyler Lumsden (our 3 best starting pitching prospects) there for a considerable part of the season. Liotta will definately start in AA while Broadway and Lummy will probably get some time in WS. In Lummy's case he's going to have to show he's healthy, if he is he has as much upside as any pitcher in our org (not that it says a lot). Valido and Schnurstein will also be there and I think Barons fans will like both of them.
March 15, 200620 yr I'd guess that Sweeney and Fields probably start the year in AA, but maybe they decide to bump them up since they are two of our better prospects and they're both having a decent spring.

March 15, 200620 yr I know Fields was supposedly planned to start in AAA even b4 spring training so after having a good spring training so far he is definitely in Charlotte. Sweeney is still a bit of a ? He was slated to spend at least half the season in AA b4 spring training but now after his hot start he might end up in AAA too.

They'll be in Charlotte. Sweeney being healthy teamed up with the way he's hitting this spring has sealed that. Fields will be in Charlotte cause he stepped up big over the 2nd half, plus Micah Schnurstein will fit in nicely at Bham. Rogo will also be in Charlotte.
March 15, 200620 yr QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 15, 2006 -> 12:28 AM) They'll both start at Charlotte. I hope they start at B-ham.
March 15, 200620 yr QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Mar 15, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) I hope they start at B-ham. Why? Are you Ben Grieve?
March 19, 200619 yr QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Mar 15, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) lol What about the Warthog "Bombers" Hall, Daigle and Collaro?
March 19, 200619 yr QUOTE(BB2ZZ @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 01:13 PM) What about the Warthog "Bombers" Hall, Daigle and Collaro? Hall and Daigle are now in Orioles system, so they will not be in Birmingham.
March 31, 200619 yr Here is a short article on the Barons from the Birmingham News. They didn't print the entire roster like they did in the paper. http://www.al.com/sports/birminghamnews/in...6940.xml&coll=2 Along with the guys they mentioned in the article, Rob Sasser will be back, Corwin Malone will return to being a starter. Wally Rosa is returning at C. Ehren Wasserman RP, Dwayne Pollock RP, Brian West. Others listed include Micah Shurenstin (SP?) I'm curious where Michael Spidale will end up. I don't recall who they had listed in the outfield. Edited March 31, 200619 yr by mannyfast
April 3, 200619 yr Finally moved in and back on line!!! I can say that Chris Stewart, Pedro Lopez, Charles Haeger, Rogo, Tracey, Owens and Reynoso will be on the Charlotte Roster.

Lamura Fraser Dizard Brian West Jeff Little Wow, that's the worst Birmingham team prospect-wise in a long time. Liotta, Broadway, Lumsden are legitimate prospects on the pitching side, but the hitting side looks awful. Valido's good, I like Getz, but no top tier offensive prospects.
April 4, 200619 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 12:27 PM) You, sir, have not gotten enough Mike Myers and Rob Sasser yet I got enough Rob Sasser in 04 :headshake When he hits them they go... of course the when is few and far between.
April 5, 200619 yr I'm probably going back to Alabama (1st time in a long time) this summer to visit my uncle and my cousins, so hopefully I'll catch another B-ham game and this time, since I'm way older than before, will know the prospects, take a good look at them, and hopefully get some insight and good imput for some of the spect lovers here.

Unfortunatly I will not in BHAM any more I will now be covering Dback and Sidewinder Games. When I get a chance I will listen to the Barons. Tucson will be a solid team. And Justin Upton will be a CF when returns from injury.
