Carolina Mudcats

CatchersSal Giardina, Tanner Murphy, Joseph Odom
InfieldJ.J. Franco, Ryan Gebhardt, Reed Harper, Erison Mendez, Joey Meneses, Omar Obregon, Dansby Swanson, Matt Tellor
OutfieldKeith Curcio, Joseph Daris, Braxton Davidson, Stephen Gaylor
PitchersBrandon Barker, Tyler Brosius, Oriel Caicedo, Wes Parsons, Max Povse, Zach Quintana, Britt Robertshaw, Carlos Salazar, Richie Tate (currently suspended), Touki Toussaint, Rob Whalen

What I’d possibly do different: The Carolina staff will have a lot of guys who can go multiple innings in the bullpen, which could be good and bad. If some guys get filtered down from upper levels, I could see them landing here. It’s also one reason I didn’t understand letting go of Jorge Zavala and Andy Otero, who would have slotted well in a return to Carolina’s bullpen as late-inning aces.
