Today is roster day for the minor league teams and we will have the rosters trickling out during the day. At some point the Jays will send me the full list but until then we will fill in with the news as it comes out.
The Lansing Lugnuts announced their roster. It is:
Pitchers: Travis Bergen, Ryan Cook, Josh DeGraaf, Conor Fisk, Jon Harris, Dusty Isaacs, Dan Lietz, Angel Perdomo, Sean Reid-Foley, Francisco Rios, Tayler Saucedo, Starlyn Suriel, Colton Turner.
Catchers: Justin Atkinson, Ryan Hissey.
Infielders: Aaron Attaway, J.C. Cardenas, Gunnar Heidt, Juan Kelly, Connor Panas, Carl Wise.
Outfielders: Josh Almonte, Jacob Anderson, Andrew Guillotte, Lane Thomas.
It is a bit of a surprise to see Sean Reid-Foley back in Lansing. The starters appear to be Harris, Reid-Foley, Cook, Saucedo and Rios. Bergen, Perdomo and Suriel have been "demoted" to the bullpen, for now.
Jacob Anderson is back in town. It doesn't appear that Rodrigo Orozco made the cut. And Lane Thomas is back to being an outfielder, the second base experiment appears to be over.
I also read at the weekend that Kevin Nolan has retired. He had been in New Hampshire for a couple of years and seemed to top out there.
Connor Greene is back in Dunedin, as is Anthony Alford. Rowdy Tellez in in AA. The repution of the Cleveland farm system under Shapiro and Atkins was for slow promotions. These assignments seem to confirm that.
Ben Nicholson Smith is tweeting rosters. Rogers employee gets the scoop!
Buffalo rotation: Drew Hutchison, Scott Copeland, Scott Diamond, Wade LeBlanc AAA bullpen: Ryan Tepera •Pat Venditte (S) •Ben Rowen •David Aardsma •Chad Girodo (L) •Chad Jenkins •Pat McCoy (L) •Dustin Antolin
Dalton Pompey •Domonic Brown •Junior Lake •Darrell Ceciliani
Tom Robson is in Dunedin, Shane Dawson in AA.
Meet your 2016 Fisher Cats, mostly the same as your 2015 Fisher Cats. In addition to Tellez, Matt Dean, Jeremy Gabryszwski and Shane Dawson get promoted. Otherwise it's returnees including Taylor Cole, John Anderson, Colt Hynes, Danny Barnes, Casey Lawrence, Jorge Flores, Roemen Fields, Melky Mesa, Dwight Smith Jr, Jon Berti and Shane Opitz.
