yes, Tony, send me the old info. I would rather be Karl of Delaware than Karl of Delmarva. I often thought of Doc Shorebird as I gathered the lineup data and posted it, and miss seeing him at the Shorebirds games to this day.

more linups from Twin Lakes: March 13 high A Orioles (v. Braves high A) Prado cf, Josenberger 2b, Tejada, Creed Willums 1b, Trimble rf, Pavaloni ca, Craig, Servidio ss, Costas 1b, Hodo cf. In the early innings S. Acevado in for Prado with Reitzbach in for Trimble. Pitchers were Watson, followed by Freeberg, Mendez, and others. March 14th low A Orioles (v. low A Pirates) Estrada ss, Hodo cf, Cunningham rf, A. De los santos 3b, Costas 1b, Bucce ca, S. Acevado lf, Benavidas 2b, Nolaya or Noleta, Deson. Starting pitcher was Forret. March 14 high A Orioles (v. Pirates) only got partial lineup Isaac Deleon, Craig, Florentino, Romero, Bowen Tony: the older I get the more trouble I have with passwords, signing in, and like. Karl of Delaware

The Delmarva team this year had the worst record in the entire franchise history of 26 years. To avoid this distinction they would have had to won their last game, but alas, the last game was rained out.

Saw Jackson's dad Matt hit a home run for Asheville at Delmarva's Perdue Stadium in August of 1999 - my gracious I'm getting old!

Heston's first homer - 369' to left center @ Perdue Stadium.

GUESS ON DELMARVA OPENING DAY ROSTER catcher: willems, brayan hernandez infield: mayo, higgins, moises ramirez, isaac de leon, caesar prieto outfield: deson, prado, craig, bellony, luis valdez, stiven acevado pitcher: rangel, baumler, moises chace, luis ortiz, juan de los santos, alejandro mendez, carlos tavera, adrion lacle miguel podia, connor grady, gillies,pham, armbruster, lloyd, preston price, van loon, luis sanchez most years can predict 50%-75% correctly, but last year only 25% 'cause of missed season and minor league reorganization, as well as limited experience with elias promotion propensities.

He was at Delmarva for about three games before Bowie - while there he hit the season's longest home run (430') for the Shorebirds.

Every year for the past decade I guess on the Delmarva Shorebirds break camp roster before it is released. My best year was 75% correct and my worst was 45%. This year will be more difficult as 1) no minor league season in 2020, and 2) less info leaking out of Twin Lakes in Sarasota as to how spring training is going. But here goes: catcher: burgess, cody roberts, yett infield: g. henderson, hernaiz, joey ortiz, daschbach, mayo, carmona outfield: haskins, sparks, zach watson, janvrin, louis gonzalez pitcher: peek, magee, hammer, brinovich, roth, strowd, mclarty, lyons, leonardo rodriquez, zebron, easton lucas, mcsweeny, farmer, louis ortiz, gillispie,

Texas Rangers have released their breakcamp rosters. For the last few years they have been the first team to reveal who will be on their farm teams. Most major league teams release rosters about 4-5 days after Texas.

If there were a 'Team Hotsheet' the Delmarva Shorebirds would be number 1. They have the best record of all the minor league teams at 9-1 and a .900 W-L per-centage! Harrisburg follows with 10-2.

More on Kirvin: not defensively gifted and does not have super range on defense. Never the less, he is the most interesting guy on the Shorebird's roster. Is short and crouches to further reduce the strike zone, chokes up on the bat with two strikes, is the only Delmarva batter not to use batting gloves, speaks four languages (he's from Curacao), and is a absolute rocket on the basepaths.

Moesquit's 1st at bat Friday (May 4) at Perdue Stadium: well hit ball to left field, left fielder Angomas and center fielder Heliot Ramos collide leaving both prone for several minutes as ball dribbles to wall, Moesquit rounds the bases for his inside the park homer - lucky Moesquit and unlucky outfielders. Moesquit's 2nd at bat: dribble single, to second with stolen base, to third on infield grounder, then a grounder to 3rd baseman who looks at Moesquit and freezes him, as soon as fielder throws to 1st Moesquit dashes for home and slides head first over the plate beating the 1st baseman's throw to home plate - super speedy Moesquit!
