The SeaWolves front office have been busy, trying to improve on last year's 87-75 finish. So far,things seem to be shaping up for a team who has never had a losing season, but has never reached the playoffs in three seasons in the CBL.
John Smoltz, Eric Bedard and Kenny Rogers will join Andy Pettitte in the rotation. The fifth starter is still up for grabs... with Mike Bacsik and Jeff Weaver the top contenders for the spot, so far.
Emil Brown, Geoff Blum, Cody Ross and Willie Harris are newcomers in the field. Brown and Harris will platoon in left, along with Brad Wilkerson... who will help out in the outfield and first base. Geoff Blum, a very versatile player, will play just about everywhere but pitcher and catcher. Ross adds a powerful bat off the bench.
Will Ohman adds an additional southpaw to the bullpen, joining veteran Ron Mahay.
It appears the SeaWolves will make at least one more roster change during Free Agency, as they still have one spot open on their 40-man roster. It seems like the SeaWolves are looking decent, so far.
