Fort Wayne
The Fort Wayne TinCaps are set to open the 2009 season with an Opening Day roster featuring three first-round draft selections and a reigning league MVP. INFs Allan Dykstra and Drew Cumberland and LHP Nick Schmidt were first-round selections by the San Diego Padres in the last two years, while OF Daniel Robertson was the 2008 Northwest League MVP.
“On paper, this looks like one of the best teams we’ve ever had in Fort Wayne,” TinCaps team president Mike Nutter said. “We hope these guys can make the first season at Parkview Field a championship season.”
Beloit
Skipper Nelson Prada will take the reigns once again for the Beloit Snappers along with Gary Lucas (Pitching Coach) and new Hitting Coach Rich Miller. Rounding out the 2009 Field Staff will be Trainer Alan Rail and new Strength coach Ben Peterson.
Snapper fans will see some familiar faces in Pitchers, Michael Allen (‘08), Danny Hernandez (‘07, ‘08), Shooter Hunt (‘08), Henry Reyes (‘07, ‘08), and Brad Tippett (‘08). Ozzie Lewis (‘08) is the only returning outfielder. Hank Sanchez (‘06), Ramon Santana (‘07, ‘08) round out the former infielders and Eli Tintor (‘06) is the only returning catcher.
Still waiting here. Why do I have the feeling traffic is going to have a big spike tomorrow?
