Possible Mobile Roster
Like the Tucson's this is only a projection, through stats and tidbits. Some players on TN's roster last year are not in the program so I assume they were cut.
C: Ford, Joshua
1B: Nicolas, Cesar
2B: Bonifacio, Emilo
SS: Bruce Derek
3B: Mark Reynolds
LF: Hankerd, Cyle/ Brandon Burgess
CF: Rahl, Chris
RF: Carlos Gonzalez
SP1: Goocher, Clint
SP2: Shappi, AJ
SP3: Green, Matt
SP4: Wright, Kyle
SP5: Howard, Adam
The starting rotation is up in the air and any suggestions would be appreciated
Tom

that lineup is going to score a lot of runs....
i wonder if we'll see some guys jump from south bend directly to AA again, especially more polished college pitchers. i personally won't mind seeing torra make the jump to AA if he's healthy. no point in sending him to the cal league...
I have a couple in there but Torra could easily be in there. It looks like Mobile will have the same problem as Lancaster did last year score a lot but give up even more.

Lots of questions to be answered before the roster is set.
Reynolds should be at 3rd if they determine that not second is where he has a future in the organization. I tend to agree because of both Hudson and Callspo ahead and with Bonifacio needing playing time to continue to develope.
Leftfield is a real question mark. Hankerd only had 65 at bats in Lancaster and may need more to be ready for AA. Maybe by mid-season. Burgess led the team in homers and needs abs to continue to develope or not. He may be seen as a firstbaseman and so that decision needs to be made. Don't forget Zeringue and Greg Thompson from South Bend. I think Zeringue is out of chances and will get cut. Thompson had a good season in low A and could be ready. Millons may still be in picture he has tools and can play a good leftfield. Spring training will be fun to watch.
Ciriaco has a chance of moving up after a good season at South Bend. He is a great defensive ss and when teamed with Bonifacio it is special. This could really help a suspect pitching staff.
Matt Elliott will be in the picture as the closer and Newby should also be an option out of the pen.
Is it certain that Reynolds will play 3rd in Mobile?
No it isn't but everything I have heard has said that Barden is blocking Mark from Tucson so I assume that means 3rd. I personally think Reynolds needs to tested at AAA. Of course I think I Barden should either be traded or given a spot on the 25 man roster, another year @ Tucson is pointless

There is a lot of questions that have to be answered I placed this up here like the Tucson thread a lot of changes will be made to this before ST even begins. On our BIS software Burgess is listed as an LF so that is why I put him next to Cyle this is a position that will be won in Spring Ball like many others throughout the organization. Like you said Spring Training will be fun. I also agree that Jon Zeringue will be cut and the SS battle should be a good one as well.

I'm surpised the way these two pitch/upside that they're only #5s here. Or does that not really matter in MiLB?
B O N D:
Suspect Torra is shown here because he only threw 10 innings in Yakima in 05 and only 25 innings last year in South Bend. I believe he spent the rest of 06 on the disabled list.
As for Osbeck, that is actually his first name: Osbeck Castillo has great numbers for the 52 innings he threw in Missoula, and I realize he is pretty old (born in Jan 81 means he is now 26) so perhaps that will bump him up to AA (and because of his experience in Cuba before he defected).
It will be very interesting to see how the guys from Lancaster do in Mobile this year (those that move up, that is. Last year they returned several to Lancaster rather than promoting them after considerable time in high A the season before.)
Am also curious about the speculation that Shappi will be either #1 or #2. I realize the Dbacks traded Ohlendorff and Jackson, and that Mock and Chico are now with the Nationals, so that definitely changes the list of projectable starters, but Shappi really struggled last season, especially in the early weeks. So I wonder if that may put him elsewhere in the rotation. I know he turned it around in Lancaster, and started to turn it around in Tennessee as he pitched more at that level, so I wonder how the FO looks at that. Perhaps there is something to be said, though, that despite the poor season, he is still in the organization and was not given his walking papers. Guess we can only wait and see what happens this year in spring training and beyond.

Not sure why you would, but im wondering if you heard anything about Raab? - Has he hooked on with another club?

Well, it sure would be a great story if Shappi came back this year with a strong season. We've seen alot of that the last couple of years around here, why not AJ?

The way I set it was based all of these spots being "up for grabs" come Spring Training. I based these on the probability of that player making the Mobile Rotation. I do not think Shappi is a #1 or high end starter but he is the closest thing to a lock for Mobile therefore I have him in the 1 spot.

You were inquiring about Kellan Raab in one of the above messages. I saw yesterday that he signed with an independent team in the Northern League. Believe the team is the Schaumburg team.
