Where will the prospects start the season?

jumbojohnny · Mar 20, 2009

Minor league rosters dont get set until a few days before the first game. On opening day where do you think these prospects are gonna be playing? I am not entirely familiar to all rosters of 2008.

Living in Connecticut has AA Rock Cats (Twins) & AA Connecticut Defenders. Although they dont have the best prospects visiting teams have some good young talent.

Jason Heyward
Rick Porcello
Madison Bumgarner
Neftali Feliz
Mike Moustakas
Matt LaPorta (I hope AA, because the Rock Cats are close by and are scheduled to play early in the season. Be nice to get an autograph.)
Jarrod Parker
Buster Posey (hopefully AA, another CT minor league team and close also)
Gordon Beckham
Tim Beckham (A, he plays ball in my home county. Family still attends Hudson Valley games)
Nicholas Barnese (same reason as above)
Lars Anderson (AA plays against Rock Cats also)
Mike Stanton
Austin Jackson (AA plays against Rock Cats also)
Fernando Martinez (AA plays against Rock Cats also)
Freddie Freeman
Jesus Montero (would like AA, but not likely I think it will be AAA)
Derek Holland
Angel Villolona (AA plays against Rock Cats also)
Matt Dominguez (AA plays against Rock Cats also)
Ben Revere (AA he would play for the Rock Cats)

Holland and Feliz should start in AA since they only pitched about 4-5 games each there, may not be long, so I need to catch some games they do, the rest I would guess Hi A-AA on most probably maybe some AAA's.

Jarrod Parker High A

30 innings in High A to learn how to not depend on his fastball so much and then 50 innings at Mobile for a test followed by 20 innings in the Arizona Fall League.

Russ S. · Mar 20, 2009

Announced on the 15th.

For the O's:
RHP DAVID HERNANDEZ was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk
RHP JIM HOEY and LHP TROY PATTON were assigned to Double-A Bowie
LHP BRIAN MATUSZ and RHP CHORYE SPOONE were optioned to Single-A Frederick.

Laporta plays for Cleveland which means Akron (AA) or Columbus (AAA).

Matt LaPorta (I hope AA, because the Rock Cats are close by and are scheduled to play early in the season. Be nice to get an autograph.)

I'm still rooting for Troy Patton. I met him when he was with AA Corpus and he was a real nice kid. Sold the big collection I had of him after he got traded but I still have the ball he signed for me on the sweet spot.

Us O's fan are too. We need another decent lefty and he seems to have quite the changeup.

All the Giants prospects are starting in SJ.

Adamsince1981 · Mar 20, 2009

Gordon Beckham - Chicago White Sox
Moustakas - Not sure, but I hope he makes it to AA this year, I have some 07 BDP that needs signing!
