The minor league season starts today! All four full-season teams are in action starting with Corpus Christi at 2 pm. Also of note, tonight is the first post-Katrina baseball game in New Orleans giving us more than one reason to celebrate today.

This is the first sorta-weekly "Ask" thread of the new season. So, fire away!

RE: MNDR 4/6 - as reported the Lex pitching probables are:
Levi Romero
Ryan McKeller
Douglas Arguello
Sean Walker

No mention of Bogusevic at all by the Herald-Leader. We'll follow the rotation and if there appears to be an issue we'll do our best to find out what's happening.

Ok, someone needs to explain to me why our #1 pick last year isn't the #1 starter in Lex this year... I don't recall hearing anything about him being hurt or being moved to a bullpen/closer role.

Thanks.

BTW, for those wanting to listen to the CC game today. Seems there is only a feed from San Antonio's side.

Supposedly at this Link, but I am having trouble getting it to make any sound. Maybe you will have better luck than I.

yep, I noticed it stopped, and when I started it again got some pre-recorded message, so I killed my window and started again. It worked. So I basically caught it near the end of the top of the 1st. So I heard their HR and House and Pence...

Anderson had a walk in the first, but a MAJOR base-running gaffe where he was doubled up because he broke on a fly ball that was caught, and he never went back. So they just tossed it over to 2B, and he was out. Don't know how he got to 2B, but that was where he was doubled off at.

Fagan just hit a Double to drive in Pence... although game log is another forum, isn't it?

EDITED IN: BTW the commercials are pretty funny. Wondering if some of them are just for internet though (or if nobody really listened to the words of the songs in some of them)

I noticed Mike Rodriguez is on the Express roster. I recall reading something about him but can't find it and, for the life of me, can't recall what was written. I've been looking thru all the threads since the start of the year but can't find anything. Can anyone provide a quick rundown on where this guy fits into the prospect/minor league fodder scheme? His stats from last year don't look shabby but there's always more to the story.

Sorry if I'm missing an obvious update somewhere...

RR is playing NO on MLBTV right now. Link can be found on the astros website.

Hirsh looks good so far.

I was a bit suprised to see Tolbert batting lead off for Salem (although he made the move look brilliant 3/5 with an SB and stranded on 3rd twice). Is that an indication of the lack of overall speed on the Avs?

BTW I love the MNDR feature. Saves me from checking several sites to check on the progress of former Greeneville players.

Anything going on with Troy Patton?

VirtualBob · « **Reply #16 on:** April 10, 2006, 08:30:29 pm »

Maybe I missed the note, but does anyone know why Felipe Paulino del Guiduce (I *love* that name) left after only an inning in his start? Was it rain?

Fletch · « **Reply #17 on:** April 10, 2006, 10:00:19 pm »

It was rain. The Link

He started today and went 4.1.

Duman · « **Reply #21 on:** April 11, 2006, 11:24:40 am »

I was really suprised to see him even on the roster to begin with. He made most of his appearances on the field in Greeneville the last two seasons in the 1st base coaches box. Although he was Brad James' personal catcher towards the end of the year. I think he serves as quasi coach. The guy must love baseball to hang on the way he does.

Froback · « **Reply #25 on:** April 12, 2006, 11:37:05 am »

Ok it is WAY to early for anything definative, but based on what we have seen in the first week. It seems Salem is going to have trouble scoring runs and Lex is having trouble keeping runs from scoring. Luckily the Legends have been scoring enough.

Also seems like RR has some holes hitting (everybody has seemed to turn into Chewy). And 3 musketeers (Zobrist, Ash, Pence) are still batting well together in CC.

Seems each team is either good in pitching or good in batting but none are both... But like I said it is still VERY early.

Duman · « **Reply #28 on:** April 12, 2006, 12:44:22 pm »

Salem & Lex have games going on right now. I can get Lex audio but not Salem because MILB doesn't have the link up.

Salem is getting baffled by the Fredrick pitcher Liz who in the first three innings he has 8 k's and 3 walks. The only none K was a foul pop.

Froback · « **Reply #32 on:** April 12, 2006, 03:13:27 pm »

WOW! Even for a guy with heat at this level, that is amazing!
