Thanks! I find this stuff interesting.
Do you see any unsigned draftees who might be sent here if/when they sign? Or are they all destined for GCL?
Hudson Boyd is a pleasant surprise (at least to me). I though Polanco would stick around the GCL at least to start the year.
Any word on Kelly Cross or Cole Johnson? Those are two names I didn't expect to see on the GCL roster.
I would guess Luke Bard, when healthy, would probably end up here, but rehabbing/coming of injury at the Fort would make sense too.
Bard would certainly go to ET of these two, although I would guess he'll go to Beloit, if not Ft. Myers. (although you're right, may just keep him in ft. Myers until he's deemed 100% No need to push him for this half season.)
Cross... you'll see his name tomorrow.
Johnson... not exactly certain what his status is. Not released, but not yet assigned to a team. He's in Ft. Myers.
I have herd that Boyd, Harrison,Mata and possibly Polanco will likely be in E-Town for 2 years, similar to Goodrum and Kepler. Anyone expecting to see Harrison, or Boyd in Beloit next year will not likely see them until next August at the earliest.
There should be a few spots open in Beloit in the second half after promotions, guys I suspect that will be promoted are:
Michael Tonkin
Matt Koch
Clint Dempster
A.J. Achter
Steven Gruver
and I have a feeling after Rosario recovers from his injury, they will leave him in Ft.Myers like they did with Arcia last year.
That may be the case for some of them but there is no way to know that or to really anticipate that.Quote:

So is the GCL slightly better than Elizabethan? They both appear to be the same level at rk. Or is it that Elizabethan begins earlier than the GCL? What's the difference? I really don't know too much about rookie ball!?
Throw Buxton in there by seasons end hopefully
(maybe he out-hitts everyone in GCL and gets a late July/ August promotion)
That is one sick linuep, and should be a team, yet again, contending for the Appy Lg. Title!
:)
No, absolutely not same level of rookie ballQuote:

GCL is the lowest... It is where mostly high school picks from the current year and guys who come up from the Dominican Summer League.Quote:

GCL starts Monday. Elizabethton starts Tuesday.
Whoa, seriously?! That is good to have a number of players together like that.Quote:
