  2. Nice pics! Thanks for sharing.

    It will be interesting to see how things shake out in player distribution between Syracuse and Harrisburg. Ward figures to still be at AA, and Read when he returns. Gutierrez should be moving up, but then does Ward go to 1B? Does Marmolejos go back to AA because Dominguez is going to AAA? Does Orange go to LF if Ward is at 1B? Does Bautista get bumped down to AA if Robles is in CF in AAA? I would think the AAA OF is Robles, Stevenson, and Sierra. Presumably Yadiel Hernandez will be back in the OF at AA. I’m guessing that Daniel Johnson starts the season back at Potomac, but they would be looking to push him forward at some point. I imagine Gushue will get the social promotion to AA, with Reetz the primary C at Potomac. Guys like Davidson, Sagdal, and maybe Masters should be moving up to AA. As for arms, you would figure that Rodriguez will be at AA, but the rest of the Latin fireballers didn’t do much at Potomac last year that shows they are ready for promotion. Will Austen Williams still be around for his third try at AA?

    If Johnson is still at Potomac, who is the odd man out if the whole OF of Soto, Perkins, and Banks moves up? Sundberg and Wiseman will still be floating around somewhere as well. They apparently think enough of Sundberg that he got a cameo in an MLB spring game.

    1. Sundberg should be on city Isle.
      Hunter Jones name disappeared from the BIG board, Springfield fan.
      I would think that Orange appropriate in Syracuse. LuCroy can dabble with Sagdal , Gamache , Ward Hernandez , along with Masters as super sub plus Norfork since Noll and Beckwith can scoot around Potomac
      Infield

      1. Sundberg walks a nice amount, strikes out too much, has shown no power but decent speed, and will turn 25 in July. As a senior draftee, the clock has been ticking fast on him. He did have basically a full season at Potomac, so he’ll probably be at Harrisburg, likely as a reserve.

    2. Ward will be at 1B in Harrisburg. Bautista, Kelvin G and Ozzie Abreau also going to HBG. Marmo in AAA. I haven’t heard much on where the pitchers will be assigned. Still lots of moves to be made by Sunday to sort out AAA and AA.

    1. Hicks for STL outing vs SS and Nats catapulted him to STL opening day roster!
      Never get crushes on players. They disappoint unless the name is Esthay
      As in the revised Hendrix song. And the wind cries Esthay!! Lol! Gil
      I liked Vilarro as a backstop but he could not hit. Jaeyner Baez the next great catching Hagerstown hopeful.
      Greetings everyone from Hong Kong
      Breakfast time.
      Releasing Hector Silvestre proves the lefty pool has expanded in A ball range
      Gil your thoughts or are you just observing and analyzing ?

  4. Thanks everyone. I look forward to another great season of pictures from Syracuse and Auburn. Also have a lot of road games scheduled this season for both.
