    Ladies and gentlemen, the Pensacola team will be the Pensacola Blue Wa Hoo according to an email I got from the team. Not my pick for sure.

    I preferred Salty Dogs, but this seems colorful enough.

    I'm disappointed that they didn't have a logo and color scheme ready.

    How many folks around my age thought of this band when you saw the name Blue Wahoos?

    Half of the guys you mention are eligible for free agency. I don't know who will resign, if any.

    Soto is eligible to be subjected to the Rule V draft, so they'll have to put him on the 40. Rojas can be a free agent, so they may put him on the 40 as well so he won't leave. Then again they may not.

    Didi and Rodriguez most likely will be up the middle for the Pensacola TBA with Grandal behind the plate.

    That's all I have until later this season.

    I wouldn't be concerned about losing Soto in the Rule V draft, and therefore would not take up a 40 man space with him. While he's showing signs of a nice bounceback year, he is a 1B who hasn't OPS'd over 800 since he was a 19-year old in Dayton three years ago. If some team wants to try him on their major league roster, good luck to them!

    Also, with a strong showing in Carolina the rest of the way this year, Grandal could be in Louisville to start 2012. No need to rush him given our catching depth, but if he's there, he's there.
    Go BLUE!!!

    Ha! But actually, the first thing I thought of was the Indians' former mascot, Chief Wahoo. The one that was deemed too politically incorrect by the PC police. I didn't even realize there were fish called blue wahoo.

    BTW, can a mod please change the title of this thread since they won't be called the Pensacola Pelicans?

    I was actually wrong, Soto isn't eligible for the Rule V Draft this off-season. He will next off-season, however. People I've talked to see Soto as a young Derek Lee. Minus the glove, though.

    You were right the first time. He's eligible for the draft this year.

    That's my understanding as well. He was drafted in 2007. This will be his 5th Rule 5 draft (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011).

    So yes, he should be eligible this year.

    I'd still take my chances on losing him in the Rule V. "Young Derrek Lee" or not, I can't envision him staying on a Major League roster in 2012.

    Ok, so I'm not crazy. I swore he was drafted in 07 but in the Prospect Handbook it has him being drafted in 2008.

    So basically we are looking at Soto, Rodriguez, Didi, and Buchholz as being the big position player possibilities to being added.
