This season’s Bradenton roster will be a bit less quirky than last year’s. That team walked into a crazy situation, with everybody missing the previous year and two whole levels of the minors being lopped off. One consequence was a very young team with bunch of guys who had little or no experience apart from the Dominican Summer League. It was also an unusually talented team, which it showed by winning the title despite the lack of experience.
This year will be closer to normal for Low-A, at least as far as the roster makeup is concerned. Nobody is jumping all the way from the DSL.
