Arizona Fall League Rosters have been announced, you can see full rosters at either minorleaguebaseball.com or baseballamerica.com

Marlins playing for the Phoenix Devil Dogs are pitchers Peter Andrelczyk, Jay Buente, Steve Cishek, Brad Stone, catcher-Kyle Skipworth, Infielders-Ryan Curry, Osvaldo Martinez.

Former Marlins players Randy Knorr and Ricky Bones are coaching. While Bryce Harper isn't on the list of players he's expected to play at sometime. Last years # 2 overall pick Dustin Ackley and Roger Clemons kid Koby are some of the notables also playing.

go AzFL then

 

glad they aren't aligned with Mesa anymore .... wish they were back in peoria though (surprise would be great) ........ rumor the nats may try to get another exception and send bryce harper, that would be fun

 

the list isn't as exciting as years past, but the games are always a great time ........ attendance is pretty brutal, but for $5 it's hard to beat watching some guys who'll be getting it done in the bigs next year playing on a nice 70-80 degree day

start a revolution!

 

I'll do my part on the ground locally ....... although the league gets so little press out here I'm not sure the effort would even constitute grass roots and with attendance in the hundreds at the games it would be hard to really get anything riled up

 

maybe if I attach it to a larger issue that the senior citizens who I chat with at these games care about it would take off .......... "did you know referring to the AzFL as the AFL creates confusion with not only the local arena football team, the Arizona Rattlers, but with the league as a whole ..... it may not seem like it, but this is the 1st in a long line of step to reducing medicare benefits and removing any COL adjustement to your social security"

Brilliant!

 

And I'll be one of those obnoxious people at the Universities passing out little flyers. Petition to call it the AzFL! Every time you call it the AFL a child cries!

 

Oh snap it's a college campus...

We should of had this conversation a couple days ago .... i was promoting my company at a job fair at ASU ...... I could of pledged to only take resumes if they gave their allegiance to the AzFL terminology ................ then I could of muscled in between We Love Jesus crowd and the Legalize It troup and started tossing out flyers - i had a suit on, so you know they'd respect me

Oh definitely.

 

We should run the next presidential campaign you and I. Genius.

 

 

It can't go worse than McCain/Palin :lol

It appears Marlins have made adjustments to AFL players as Kris Harvey and Sean West have replaced Jay Buente and Brad Stone.

The season opened yesterday, Ozzie was 0 for 3 and Andrelczyk pitched to scoreless innings.

nice - West was pretty entertaining out here a couple years ago and i'm interested to see Harvey

 

unfortunately, I looked at the schedule and the only time they play at my "local" stadiums is on weekdays - except for this saturday when I have about 3 conflicts

 

phoenix muni doesn't have berm seating (which is key if I want to be able to attend more games when the presence of my 1 yr old is required ..... ability for her to crawl around and play on the grass is huge)

 

so that leaves pretty much solo jaunts to phoenix munis or even longer drives to get to see them

 

I guess it's better than being stationed in mesa like the last couple of years ... but not much

 

wish they would be aligned with one of the peoria teams again

I guess Nats changed their mind:

The Nationals have decided that outfielder Bryce Harper, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 First-Year Draft, will play for the Scottsdale Scorpions of the Arizona Fall League. He will report on Tuesday.

 

Harper will be on the taxi squad, which means he will play twice per week. When he doesn't play, Harper will work on his swing and his skills in the outfield.

phoenix plays at scottsdale on a weekend .... hopefully harper is active for that game - looks like one I'll be able to attend

Can anyone tell me if a 3.0 WHIP any good? (Sean West)

small sample size but still...

 

You're kidding, right?

 

I say this because if you're not that means I haven't been able to get through to you at any point.

:shifty :shifty :shifty

I remember a couple years back West was pitching in the rising stars game (or whatever it's called) out here .... he walked the first 23 batters to load up the bases and then struck out the next 3 to get out of the jam ..... followed by a kind of sarcastic curtain call .... i don't think anyone even made real contact off him

 

was an interesting game - hanson started against phil hughes - hughes looked bad, but hanson looked amazing (i think I was raving about him here back then)
