The Honolulu Advertiser has a preview that focuses on former Burlington Bee Mike Stodolka:
For the first six years of his pro career, the left-handed Stodolka was working through the ranks as a pitcher. After 492 2/3 innings through rookie ball to Double A, going 20-39 with a 4.93 earned run average, an elbow injury set him on a different track in his career. This past season at High Desert of the High-A California League, Stodolka shelved pitching for hitting. And for someone who hadn't batted since high school, he did relatively fine, batting .284 with 33 doubles, 11 home runs and 67 RBIs in 115 games. He also had a .396 on-base percentage with the help of 78 walks.
