STARTERS

Catcher- Andy Young (33 yrs)- A man who has been around the league since the inaugural season.

First Base- Gary McKinney (27 yrs)- Has good gap & HR power but must cut down on his K's.

Second Base- Steve Nelson (32 yrs)- Must be on his way out of Jackson as he has a $6 million contract and isn't producing good enough numbers for that money.

Third Base- Salvador Campos (25 yrs)- Used to play at first, learning to play 3rd base now. Good contact & decent gap power.

Short Stop- Curt Edwards (27 yrs)- While his offense may not be there, this man can play all 4 infield positions and play them SUPER well.

Left Field- Mauro Benitez (31 yrs)- A speedster that was acquired from Topeka in midseason. Will probably be replaced by younger talent.

Center Field- Robert Gardner (26 yrs)- An absolute burner on the basepaths (58 steals this yr and 91 with Topeka in 2018). His offense is very poor though.

Right Field- Jake Warren (34 yrs)- A $13 million/year player that can barely produce 25 HR's and 80 RBI's a year?

Pitching- STARTERS

1. Chih Hsia (25 yrs)- The Taiwanese pitcher could be the ace of the staff for years to come
2. Fernando Rodriguez (29 yrs)- A lifetime .500 pitcher in 6 seasons, the team is relying on the Texas native to perform well.
3. Millard Carlson (26 yrs)- Has never really been able to put everything together and be successful yet.
4. Luis Rodriguez (24 yrs)- The young Dominican relies on control and movement as his stuff is less than superb
5. Pete Fish (28 yrs)- Once again, a pitcher who hasn't been able to make everything work out there on the mound.

BULLPEN

MR Michael Cox (26 yrs)- A man with the endurance to start but not a quality starter.
MR Ed Brown (25 yrs)- Missed whole 2020 season with bone chips in his elbow.
MR Anthony Wagner (31 yrs)- Has bounced between AAA & majors for the last 4 seasons.
MR Paul Lander (30 yrs)- Used to start, now moved to the pen. Has been effective out of the pen last 3 yrs.
SU Manny Chavez (26 yrs)- Has been a workhouse out of the bullpen the past couple years
SU Ken Moore (31 yrs)- Former starter who lost his job because of poor performance. He's on a short leash this year.
CL Corey Howard (27 yrs)- Was 37-43 in save opp. last year with a 2.48 ERA
