2019 Minor League Spring Training

[Squire]

Lakewood just posted their roster I think. Apparently Bohm is on it

[bigegypt0417]

Luis Garcia as well

[Squire]

4 Outfielders are (stunningly) Malvin Matos, James Smith, Yerwin Trejo and Carlos De La Cruz

Infielders are Alec Bohm, Luis Garcia, Jonathan Guzman, Matt Kroon, Jake Holmes and Cole Stobbe

Catchers are Rafael Marchan and Abraham Gutierrez

The Ironpigs have released their preliminary roster as well. Interestingly, it has 27 players on it.

Preliminary IronPigs roster announced

Lakewood roster article:

BlueClaws Unveil 2019 Break-Camp Roster

This one has 27 guys on it as well?

Have the minor league roster limits been changed?

[Squire]

I thought Haseley would go to AAA and Jan Hernandez would go to AA so that both Haseley and Moniak would be in CF. Not that different t guess.

[Squire]

Many rotation candidates for Lakewood: Eastman, MacArthur, Gowdy, Morales, Lindow, Mezquita etc

[andyb]

Bohm in Lakewood is a huge disappointment. He was supposed to be a polished college bat. When has any top 5 college bat not started his first full season in A+ ball and still become a star? It is not like anyone at Clearwater is blocking him.

On roster limits, remember we shuttle people on and off the roster readily, especially to keep 6-man rotations. There are probably some DL assignments we don't know about yet also.

Mitch Walding returns for a second season with the IronPigs... He made his major league debut on May 30 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He became the first Phillie to hit a home run for his first career hit since Brock Stassi.

That makes it sound like he did it in his first AB.

[Squire]

The scant scouting reports on Bohm this Spring have not been glowing

[Clawsgirl22]

Bohm May not be here for long

[Clawsgirl22]

Who can play first for Lakewood

[Squire]

Could be Kroon or Holmes or Stobbe

[julio]

Reading's roster has also been posted on the Fightins' website:

A partial list of players who were in AAA or AA with the Phils last year, who are not on the AAA or AA (or Lakewood) rosters:

Eshelman, Tom
Leibrandt, Brandon
Martin, Kyle
Pujols, Jose
Rivero, Alexis
Singer, Jeff
Taveras, Jose
Tols, Josh
Viza, Tyler
Windle, Tom

Some may be nursing injuries, and have therefore been held back for Extended Spring Training. But I suspect we're going to see a lot of releases in the near future.

Pujols is injured (leg, not sure what it is but he was seen in a cast this spring). Taveras is recovering from, I believe, a shoulder injury. Some pitchers never get back from those. Viza and Windle both pitched in big-league games this spring. Singer was a UDFA who was highly shout of last season--I can't imagine he's not injured if he's not listed on a roster.

I'm stunned that Aklinski and Pelletier are not on Lakewood's roster. They've got to be getting some specific work in extended...I'd imagine they move to Lakewood before the June draft. They were very good in the NYPL last season, don't know why they'd repeat.

I'm stunned that Aklinski and Pelletier are not on Lakewood's roster. They've got to be getting some specific work in extended...I'd imagine they move to Lakewood before the June draft. They were very good in the NYPL last season, don't know why they'd repeat.

Any possibility that one or both of these guys might get skipped to Clearwater?

Pelletier is hurt
