By this time next week, the short-season and rookie-ball seasons will have started, meaning some 2010 draftees will be getting some at-bats and innings. According to vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman, none of the guys taken this year is likely to open with a full-season team.
“I do not think any will be in Charleston any time soon,” he said in an email.
There are also plenty of international players and 2009 draftees who will begin playing when the short-season schedule finally gets underway. Talking about late-round picks last week, Damon Oppenheimer said he’s especially high on 2009 44th-round pick Evan DeLuca.
“You’re talking about a high school left-hander that we got real late that’s throwing 93 to 95 down here (in extended spring), with a good curveball and changeup that should move through the system pretty quick,” he said.
A few more notes and links to wrap up this off day.
