2021 Norfolk Tides roster activity and discussion

[Tony-OH]

Pitchers: Fernando Abad, Keegan Akin, Manny Barreda, Cody Carroll, Claudio Custodio, Marcos Diplán, Thomas Eshelman, Jay Flaa, Conner Greene, Eric Hanhold, Mickey Jannis, Dusten Knight, Zac Lowther, Isaac Mattson, Evan Phillips, Josh Rogers, Konnor Wade, Spenser Watkins, Alexander Wells

Catchers: Brett Cumberland, Taylor Davis, Austin Wynns

Infielders: Rylan Bannon, Jahmai Jones, Richie Martin, Mason McCoy, Seth Mejias-Brean, Tyler Nevin, Ryan Ripken

Outfielders: Yusniel Diaz, Ryan McKenna, Chris Shaw, Stevie Wilkerson

[Tony-OH]

Wells is healthy and made the team but Baumann is nowhere to be found on a roster which is concerning.

Primary plays should be:

C - Rotation
1B: Nevin
2B: Jones
SS: Martin
3B: Bannon
LF: Shaw
CF: McKenna
RF: Diaz

They did mention that about 60 players are still in Extended Spring Training. 
 

I would imagine Baumann is building up there. 
 

I didn’t see Nick Cuiffo anywhere. Don’t know if he is released/opted out or in Florida still too.

Yeah, we haven't seen any releases reported yet but have to imagine he was hurt or released.

I’ll let you know if he posts on Twitter (or even his one) like Nichting did. Maybe get a scoop.

I’m sorry to hear Baumann isn’t ready to go north yet, but I’m glad to hear that Wells is ready to go.   Plenty of interesting pitchers to watch with Akin, Lowther and Wells all presumably in the rotation.

I think Mattson is a reliever.

Be interesting to see what Rogers looks like.

Aren't pictures of the players available?

Starting rotation at Norfolk:   Lowther, Akin, Secroler, Wells, Rogers .....Is my guess.

Where is secroler?  Didn’t see him on this roster.
