I resisted the urge to include a W.T.F. category, but I’m sure folks will supply their own. Now for some thoughts…
• That Hagerstown roster is something, isn’t it? Fortunately, I still have my spy out there—we just had a chat last weekend—so we should have some first-hand opinions and observations before these guys make their way to Woodbridge.
• Seriously, I think just about everyone we’d been hoping to make it there instead of Auburn did.
• You could complain about the composition of the Potomac roster, but this really par for the course — all eyes will be on Robles, perhaps Baez, but I’m looking forward to seeing Agustin, who has been Robles’s shadow for most of his time in the organization.
• Harrisburg is a lot like Potomac, but with a couple of more prospects, much older veterans, mixed in with some OG’s and a few social promotions.
• And Syracuse? Well, it’s the highest level and easily the oldest this year. It’s built to supply fungible replacements and stopgaps.
• Finally, my first post for MASN is scheduled for Wednesday. when it’s online, I’ll link to it here.
