2011 Opening Day Minor League Rosters



If I had my druthers...

these would be the full season rosters to start 2011:

Houston

C- Castro
1B- Lee
2B- Keppinger
SS- Barmes
3B- Johnson
RF- Pence
CF- Bourn
LF- Hawpe*
Bench- Michaels, Sanchez, Quintero, Hall*, Shuck

Rotation: Myers, Wandy, Happ, Norris, Francis*

Bullpen: Figueroa, Wright, Abad, Melancon, Lopez, Lyon, Lindstrom

AAA
C- Towles
1B- Wallace
2B- Cartwright
SS- Manzella
3B- Downs
RF- Barnes
CF- Bogusevic
LF- DeLome
Bench- Locke, Navarro, Corporan, Sutil, Clemens

Rotation: Lyles, Keuchel, Villar, Arguello, Perez
Bullpen: Arias, Valdez, Fulchino, Del Rosario, Gervacio, Meszaros, Nevarez

-This has them releasing Duran, Vallejo, and Anderson Hernandez, which is unlikely.

AA
C- Heath
1B- Martinez
2B- Altuve
SS- Villar
3B- Flores
RF- Steele
CF- Austin
LF- Gaston
Bench- Simunic, Wikoff, Hernandez, Butera, Pelligrini
Rotation- Seaton, Greenwalt, Donovan, Wolf, James
Bullpen- Urckfitz, Berner, Trinidad, Godfrey, Leon, Carpenter, Lo

-This has Kirkland, Affronti, Van Ostrand, Buzachero, and Wells as not on the team.  The offense has a lot of good young players with very high upsides, but the rotation worries me.

A+
C- Williams
1B- Hinze
2B- Paredes
SS- Mier
3B- Meyer
RF- Lane
CF- Wates
LF- Goebbert
Bench- Hogue, Orloff, Garcia, Arrendell, E. Castro
Rotation- Bushue, Cruz, Cisnero, Minaya, Dydalewicz
Bullpen- Grimmett, Blazek, Modica, Alvino, Clark, Stines, De Leon

-I really like the look of this team.  It has several players pegged to get released (Comadena, Ori, Parejo, Blazek, Wabick, Cespedes, Cruz).

A
C- Wallace
1B- Nidiffer
2B- DeShields
SS- Hernandez
3B- Burnett
RF- Nash
CF- Adamson
LF- Kvasnicka
Bench- Valenzuela, Healey, Pena, Medrano, Tello
Rotation- Folty, Quevedo, Buchanan, Shirley, Martinez, Doran
Bullpen- Robinson, Sogard, Walker, Ness, Smink, Quintero

-Again, I like this team.  Went with a 6 man rotation here since there are so many potential starters.  It has Bray, Ramirez, Pettus, Pitkin, Schurz, and Sarisky missing.
