Daytona Tortugas Roster

[Bourgeois Zee]

Suprised Gavin is coming back to Daytona, he had a very good 2nd half of the year.

I suspect he'll move up with Senzel and company. Jagielo stalling last season in AA means he repeats. And LaValley is young enough to be given 100 - 300 ABs in High A and still make up the ABs in AA as the season wears on.

I missed that. Thank you. I updated the list.

How many guys are on AA rosters? I take it that the number is more than 25

Nope, 25. I imagine injuries, cuts, last-minute promotions/demotions, etc. will decide who ends up in Pensacola. I could see up to a dozen of these guys (Rahier, Portuondo, et al) could be getting their release papers soon.

Guys like Walters could possibly be starting in "Billings", which is where guys who shouldnt be in AA but cant make the opening day AAA roster stay for a few weeks until there is a promotion or DL in AAA.

What is wrong with Antone? Why is he projected on the DL?

Succumbed to Tommy John

Succumbed to Tommy John

Tommy John is 73 years old (!).

Antone is a wuss if he can't beat up an old man.

[19braves77]

90 percent of that list is correct. Austin Ross is there also.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Beyond Aquino, that batting order is borderline offensive.

The pitching staff, though...

Castillo
Mahle
Mella
Strahan
Herget
Brice
Guillon
Hernandez
Weiss (possibly)

Relievers and starters. Lots of heat. Some projection too.

Succumbed to Tommy John

Thanks. I hadn't seen that. Too bad. I thought he was a sleeper. Maybe he'll come back throwing harder like some guys do.

[OnBaseMachine]

As for the pitching staff, without the depth of power arms, Marrero plans to roll with a six-man rotation. Right-hander Jonathon Crawford will take the ball on Thursday night, looking to rebound after battling injuries for significant portions of the last two seasons.

Jose Lopez, Vladimir Gutierrez, Jesus Reyes, Ty Boyles and Wendolyn Bautista are the other expected starters. Gutierrez, who inked a $4.75 million signing bonus from the Reds, pitched largely in relief in his native Cuba. He’s the No. 4 international prospect in baseball, according to MLB.com

Does this mean Mark Armstrong, Austin Orewiler, and Jake Paulson are all being "permanently" switched to relievers?
