no surprises here. Much better team than last years team, but still void of a lot of talent outside of Ozzie and Newk. Hopefully Wisler and Blair can regain some prospectiveness.
Did anyone see where Minter would be assigned. I assume AA once off the DL.
I would think he'd be in AAA. Guys like Freeman, Cruz, and Peterson are not going to hold a spot over real talent.Quote:

That's going to be a pretty watchable team...much more so than AAA usually is. Ozzie alone is worth the price of the ticket.
hopefully you better hurry!!Quote:

Did Jake Schrader get cut loose? I thought I'd see him on either the Mississippi or Gwinnett roster.
Surprised at the lack of retreads. They probably had counted on Danks accepting the send down, with occasional potential for call up, whole offering some mentoring to the kids.
Is Jackson starting or relieving? I was under the impression that he was a bullpen arm.Quote:

I think people have jumped off the Newcomb bandwagon too quickly.
I don't remember where I saw it...maybe from Bowman on braves.com...but I saw a list that had Jackson listed as one of the starters for Gwinnett.Quote:
