dustin majewski 3rd rd 2003 oakland
spent last season and a half at AA new hampshire (blue jays org). career .264 avg in 2058 minor league ABs. doesnt look good for dustin based on his numbers and career progression.

seth johnston 5th rd 2005 san diego
hit .292 in a full season at high A ball in the padres organization last season.

taylor teagarden 3rd rd 2005 texas
split 2007 between high A and AA for texas org. career .294/34/100 in just 510 minor league ABs. likely to be at AAA okc this season. not on 40man roster.

tim moss 3rd rd 2004 philadelphia
appears to be out of baseball. no stats in 2007.

adrian alaniz 8th rd 2007 washington

released by reds in 2006, got on with washington nationals organization and ended last season at A level hagerstown. career .233 hitter in 746 minor league ABs. he might be done.

david maroul 23rd rd 2005 san francisco
.221 with 20 HR at high A san jose in 2007. .243 with 303 Ks in 1016 career minor league ABs. doesnt look good for david.

randy boone 7th 2007 toronto
not sure if he played last season. could not find any short season/rookie stats for 2007. would guess he'll be in lansing or auburn, ny this season.

buck cody 16th 2005 san francisco
no stats for 2007. not sure if he was hurt or what, because he had pretty good numbers in limited action in 2005 and 2006.

j.b. cox 2nd rd 2005 new york (al)
great numbers in 2005, 2006 but no stats for 2007. not sure is he was hurt or what.

brad halsey 8th rd 2002 new york (al)
now with oakland org after being traded from yankees to diamondbacks. must have been hurt in 2007, as he only pitched 17 innings in AAA sacramento. spent part of 2004 in MLB for yankees. spent all of 2005 in the diamondbacks rotation. 2006 he spent most of season in MLB for oakland. 14-19 with 4.84 era in 286 MLB innings for career. uncertain of current status as he's not listed on oakland's 40man roster and has no 2008 MLB spring training stats.

ryan hubele 8th rd 2002 baltimore
played in AA and AAA for baltimore org last season. career .248 hitter in minors for 1636 ABs. probably near the end of the line.

brantley jordan 29th 2003 st. louis
last two seasons spent in independent texas league.

sam lecure 4th rd 2005 cincinnati
spent 2007 in AA chatanooga. career 3.65 era in 298 minor league innings. no major league spring stats, but i would expect him to be in AAA if healthy this season.

tommy nicholson 11th rd 2000 chicago (al)
last played in 2005

phil seibel 8th rd 2000 montreal
spent time with 4 organizations. pitched 3.2 scoreless innings for boston in 2004 for only MLB time. 8 poor innings for AAA salt lake city last season. i'm guessing he's done.

gerritt simpson 5th rd 2001 colorado
had pretty decent minor league numbers but spent 2007 in independent league.

eric sultemeier 6th rd 2003 baltimore
last played in 2004

kyle yates 13th rd 2004 toronto
full time starter at AA new hampshire last season. 28-25 with a 3.79era in 458 minor league innings.
 
oh and feel free to add anyone i forgot. i just did that from memory so it's very likely i forgot at least a couple of guys.
 
cox was hurt last season

yanks mailbag

When will J.B. Cox be ready to start pitching again? Where is he in his rehab?
-- Steve V., Canandaigua, N.Y.

The former University of Texas closer will be coming to a ballpark near you in '08. Cox's progress is on schedule, and he is slated to throw batting practice this spring on his way to pitching competitively. The Yankees didn't invite him to big league camp since he's still restricted a bit and could just as easily work out on the Minor League side.
 
Teagarden and Majewski will start the season at Double-A Frisco, with Teagarden at C/DH and Majewski in left (most likely).

Boone will start in Lansing.

Johnston should be in San Antonio this year.

Moss was released by Philly last spring. Cody was released by the Rangers last spring and retired. Hubele retired this past offseason.
 
Kyle McCulloch;

Chicago White Sox- Will start in the Double AA in Birmingham, Al. with the possibility of moving up to AAA.
 
I was in Tucson last week and went to the Rockies/Rangers game (as well as Arizona-Fullerton) and the guy besides me (who is a big Rockies fan-according to him) was telling me that Omar has a great chance to opening day starter over Barmes. I'd love to see him turning 2 with Tulo!
 
James Russell is looking good for the cubbies this spring and will probably start in Daytona.
 
On XM radio, they said Omar was sent to AAA because Barmes is out of options. JP Howell made the team in similar fashion.
 
Also in an interview the other day, Reds GM Wayne Krvisky had nice things to say about Stubbs. He said that Drew would be a major leaguer, the question was how well would he hit - worst case, a good defensive outfielder and best case an all star.
 
Looks like Seth Johnston will be a San Antonio Mission this year.

When was Majewski traded to the Rangers? I totally missed that. That's exciting. Would love to see him breakout in Frisco this year.

Hook'em!!!

Don't forget about Calvin Murray in his 18th season of minor league ball!

I'm sorry . That was mean. God bless him.
 
Geno Espineli (a.k.a. Eugene Espineli) is starting for the AAA Fresno Grizzlies in the Giants system. He went 8-10 with a 3.45 ERA for AA Connecticut last year.
 
You can't second guess who will make it in the pro's. Luck and timing has alot to do with success.
