Projected 2011 Rosters

[Jordan Tuwiner]

It's interesting that you have Mychal Givens listed as a 2B. If I recall correctly, his arm strength was one of his strengths going into the draft, no? Wouldn't a move to 2B sort of neutralize that?

Allstar nailed it. He has the arm to play any position, but his footwork and range is going to limit him to 2B or an outfield corner. He doesn't have the speed for CF.

Just made a few quick changes.

Time for another one with Lee signing.

So I looked over the changes you made and have a couple questions/comments. Thoughts on Frederick SP given that it appears Hobgood will not be ready on opening day? Pull someone in from the pen or move folks along?

Also, I see that none of the 3 rule 5 draft choices are listed anywhere. I certainly agree that Rosario will not be here. Mollenhaeur will have trouble at the AAA level with Adams and Miclat up the middle, but I feel that Rasner should stick in Bowie. Thoughts?

I'll have to run through the rotations again because I don't think Cowan will be ready at the beginning of 2011 either. Randy Henry could slide into the rotation later in the year if they want to stretch him out a bit. In the mean time, I'd probably plug two of Cole McCurry, Nick Haughian and Kenny Moreland in to replace Hobgood and Cowan. I could also see Nathan Moreau opening in the Frederick rotation.

Agree with you on Mollenhaeur. I could see the O's bumping Pelzer or Spoone (assuming he moves to the pen) up to AAA, leaving a spot for Rasner. Either way, I think they end up finding a spot for him.

Had a cyst drained from his right shoulder the other day. Link.

Need to slide Egan into the Norfolk pen. Also heard from someone visiting ST that they met Winston Sawyers mom and he's been told he is heading to Delmarva.

What day do we know for sure who's going where?
