Harrisburg Announces Its 2014 Opening Day Roster
As it has been historically, the Harrisburg Senators were the first of the four full-season affiliates to release their 2014 Opening Day Roster (2014 watchlist players in bold, 2014 notables in italics):
| PITCHERS | INFIELDERS | OUTFIELDERS | CATCHERS |
| Gabriel Alfaro | Justin Bloxom | Destin Hood | Mitch Canham |
| Colin Bates | Cutter Dykstra | Caleb Ramsey | Sandy Leon |
| A.J. Cole | Ricky Hague | Michael Taylor | |
| Rob Gilliam | Jason Martinson | Drew Vettleson | |
| Matt Grace | Sean Nicol | ||
| Tyler Herron | Matt Skole | ||
| Neil Holland | |||
| Zach Jackson | |||
| Richie Mirowksi | |||
| Ryan Perry | |||
| Matt Purke | |||
| Felipe Rivero | |||
| Blake Schwartz |
As it should be, this is a roster laden with the organization’s top talent — 17 of the 25 are on this site’s 2014 Watchlist along three of the Baseball America Top 10 prospects (Cole, Skole, & Taylor) and three more that were ranked in the Top 20 for the Nationals (Purke) and Tampa Bay (Rivero & Vettleson).
Busy day today, so I’m off to write up the next roster release…
Cole, Purke, Schwartz, Rivero, and Gilliam the rotation?
Most likely.
For those who are interested an excellent write up:

Who picked up Oakland release Michael Taylor ??
What happened to Jose Lozada? I haven’t seen any report on him since 3/21.
Most likely: Released or sent
on a slow boat to Chinato XST.
