Think of Rube Baker from Major League 2 as it relates to my title...I realize that I hadn't posted details yet on the final roster or the pitching rotation to open the year...Well, how about this being the perfect place...Final cuts were made on Sunday before heading off to Evansville...
Buddy Munroe and Wes Wrenn were placed on irrevocable waivers for the purpose of granting outright release...Carlos Rivas, who is still working his way into the States from Venezuela, will open on the inactive list...Brian Kolb has also been placed on the inactive list to open the year...
SOME DETAILS: According to American Association rules, if you open the season on the inactive list you can be activated at any time...If you are placed on the inactive list during the season you need to miss a minimum of 30 days....In other words, now would be the time to place players on the inactive list...
PITCHING WISE: LHP Derrick Gordon will receive the call for tonight's final exhibition...RHP Scott Shaw, a native of Gurnee, Illinois, will be the opening night starter on Thursday...RHP Jack Frawley goes Friday, RHP Nolan Nicholson on Saturday, and then Gordon on Sunday...That also means that on opening night at U. S. Steel Yard the first hurler will be LHP Derrick Gordon...
Matchups for the opening series with Grand Prairie are as follows...
Thursday: RHP Scott Shaw vs. LHP Greg Smith
Friday: RHP Jack Frawley vs. RHP Scott Drucker
Saturday: RHP Nolan Nicholson vs. RHP Josh Rainwater
Sunday: LHP Derrick Gordon vs. RHP Jae Lung
