March 30, 200818 yr Pitchers: Justin Cassel, Lucas Harrell, Jon Link, John Lujan, Kyle McCulloch, Brian Omogrosso, Clayton Richard, Derek Rodriguez, Clevelan Santeliz, Carlos Torres, Joseph Torres, Matt Zaleski Catchers: Cole Armstrong, Eric Hollis, Jared Price Infielders: Javier Castillo, Robert Hudson, Victor Mercedes, Micah Schnurstein, Robert Valido Outfielders: David Cook, Stefan Gartrell, Noah Hall, Ricardo Nanita, Miguel Negron
March 30, 200818 yr I'm excited to see how Harrell and Cassel do. I especially liked Cassel from what I saw in his one inning. Who's playing 3rd? Also, besides Cassel, Harrell, and McCulloch (such a waste of a 1st round pick), who are the other starters? Is Omogrosso going to be relief or start? Edited March 30, 200818 yr by BearSox
March 30, 200818 yr QUOTE(BearSox @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 05:36 PM) Who's playing 3rd? I would guess Schnurstein
March 31, 200818 yr QUOTE(dasox24 @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 06:55 PM) I would guess Schnurstein I thought he was 1B now though...
March 31, 200818 yr I see Valido is back in Birmingham... I'm still holding out a little hope for him, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
March 31, 200818 yr Author Probable depth chart... C- Cole Armstrong / Jared Price / Eric Hollis 1B- Micah Schnurstein / Eric Hollis 2B- Victor Mercedes / Robbie Hudson 3B- Javier Castillo / Robbie Hudson SS- Robert Valido / Robbie Hudson CF- Ricardo Nanita / Miguel Negron RF- David Cook or Noah Hall or Stefan Gartrell LF- David Cook or Noah Hall or Stefan Gartrell DH- David Cook or Noah Hall or Stefan Gartrell Probable staring rotation... Kyle McCulloch Derek Rodriguez Clayton Richard Lucas Harrell Justin Cassel Probable bullpen... Closer- John Lujan 8th- Jon Link Long / Swingman- Matt Zaleski Long / Swingman- Brian Omogrosso Lefty Specialist- Joseph Torres Middle- Carlos Torres Middle- Clevelan Santeliz
March 31, 200818 yr I really like Cassel and Harrell. Other than that looking forward to what McCulloch and Valido will do.
March 31, 200818 yr What about Daron Roberts, CJ Lang, and Paulo Orlando? They were starting players at Winston-Salem last year. Where did they go? Edited March 31, 200818 yr by scenario
March 31, 200818 yr Author QUOTE(scenario @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 10:47 PM) What about Daron Roberts, CJ Lang, and Paulo Orlando? They were starting players at Winston-Salem last year. Where did they go? Roberts was taken in the Rule 5 draft, Orlando probably will be repeating Winston-Salem and Lang probably will never play above A ball.

If Valido can't turn it around, and Miranda plays at W-S the way he played in GF and Kanny, then Valido will probably become a permanent bench guy before the season ends.

They still have last year's roster on the site. B-Ham will be fun to watch. I like Gartrell and Cook, and they don't get much attention as "prospects".
March 31, 200818 yr I thought Omogrosso did well as a starter. I'm surprised that he's not in the rotation.

Barons.com under roster, the jersey numbers are posted now too. Originally posted on the AL.com website under sports, under Birmingham Barons. I'm a season ticket holder, so I'm looking forward to the season too. The Schnur is back! Edited March 31, 200818 yr by JPN366

It's still possible, those are just my educated guesses. Cassel, McCulloch, Richard & Rodriguez were all starters at Winston-Salem last year. Harrell was a starter before he had arm surgery last year. I imagine Harrell will be brought along slowly this year, so some of his starts could go to Omogrosso or Zaleski. Both of whom made starts last year and pitched in relief, thus why I suggested that they will be the Barons swingmen.

I just got an e-mail from the Media Relations guy for the Barons, Omogrosso will be starting and Derek Rodriguez will be pitching in relief.
