The Opening Day edition of the State Journal lists the players marked with [Lan] as part of our team. There’s one new Lugnut who isn’t on these lists: Pitcher Louis Matos. I got 14 of them right. (And Hallmark’s a Lugnut.) Good enough. |
How do I explain these tables? Our baseball team’s in here. So are a bunch of other guys.
Nearly every opening-day Lugnut-to-be is on these lists. These are the non-rehab players who appeared in at least one game for Springfield (Class A) or Spokane (A) or Fort Myers (Rookie) last summer. (The other teams shown in the list are Lethbridge [Rookie], Visalia [A], Wilmington [A], and Wichita [AA].) This is the pool the Original Lugnuts will mainly be drawn from; the tricky part is figuring which ones to eliminate. Now, gather ’round the hot stove….
Constraints and assumptions:
- Most of the Sultans will get promoted to Wilmington.
- Some of the short-season players will get promoted to Wilmington.
- Twenty-five or so of the remaining players will become Lugnuts in April.
- Those twenty-five collectively need to play all of the defensive positions.
- The others may or may not become Lugnuts after April 5. I’m not immediately concerned about them.
The folks I expect to see in Lansing have X by their name.
Please keep in mind that I compiled these lists and wrote the preceding paragraphs in early February. Thanks.

Reality check: There was a group of players practicing with the Lugnuts coaching staff during March; these might be called the “proto-Lugnuts.” As I learned who those players were, I marked them with [Sp] (for Spring) on these lists. Another reality check: Players on these lists who’ve been assigned to Wilmington are now marked. |

While this page was originally posted on February 5, it was updated regularly to reflect improved information (thus the “Reality Checks”).
The mention of Hallmark is an acknowledgment that I’d been hoping Pat would be assigned to Lansing, something earlier versions of the page had made clear.
This is the final version, which was dated April 5.
