The opening day roster has been set along with the rotation for the first series of the year...I know that the final cuts did not come easily...
The final cuts were a pair of experienced outfielders in Cody McMorris and Raphael Turner...Two cuts were necessary due to the addition of a veteran in the outfield...Jereme Milons joined the team today...Milons spent 2011 with both Southern Illinois and Lake Erie, appearing in the playoffs with the Crushers...An All-Star starter in 2010 with Southern Illinois, Milons is the career leader in stolen bases for the Miners...
The other cuts came from the pitching staff...Relievers Matt Collins and Jamaal Hollis were released, bringing the total on the staff to 24...

Meanwhile...
