Ready, Set, Go !!!

Since the spring training camp is over, the Blues are looking for their first season of their history. Many young players have shown their potential so far, but only few of them have made the big league.

The Blues's big league roster is now complete, and they are ready to start the season. Alex Beltre will start the first match for the Blues. The other pitchers of the rotation are Roosevelt Gant, Rico Parra, Pedro Crespo and Christy Gold.

Finally, the closer role has been given to Wes Aumont. He has two great pitchs and a high control.

The rest of the pitching staff is Terry Forster, Sammy Alvarado, Antone Redmond, Roosevelt Hines, Del Guzman and Julio Mercado.

The Blues have bigs hopes for all those players, and they think that they can be in the fight for the division title.

Bryan Guerrero will be the leadoff player in the impressive lineup of the Blues. Hades Mullin and Rafael Montanez will follow as #2 and #3. The cleanup spot will be hold by the all-star third baseman, Nigel Kelly.

The catcher Alex Forest will hit at the fifth rank, followed by Von Byrne and Brent Gross. Those three players can hit the ball and produce many points.

At the end of the lineup, we have Len Torrealba and Jerry Piazza. Torrealba has a decent bat, but his defensives qualities will be very useful for the Blues.

The Blues have a backup catcher in Roosevelt Hunter, two backup players that can play almost everywhere on the field in Cookie Meulens and Yoo-Nah Vanguri. The last backup player is right fielder Rico Tabaka. His high speed may be use as pitch runner to get an extra base when needed.

The Memphis fans will see a lot of action around the field. The Blues have speed and power on the players side, and control on the pitchers side. This is the most important ingredients for the success of a team.

See you on the field.
