[A. Cavatica]

From the Knights web site:

2004 Charlotte Knights

Pitchers (12)
10 - Darensbourg, Vic
23 - Diaz, Felix
15 - Duncan, Courtney
35 - Grilli, Jason
37 - Kohlmeier, Ryan
32 - Majewski, Gary
34 - Pacheco, Enemencio
51 - Rauch, Jon
20 - Sanders, Dave
38 - Santiago, Jose
14 - Stewart, Josh
26 - Wylie, Mitch
36 - Wunsch, Kelly (Major League Rehab)

Catchers (3)
19 - Burke, Jamie
13 - Hankins, Ryan
21 - Rivera, Mike

Infielders (5)
17 - Bell, Mike
24 - Dransfeldt, Kelly
4 - Nelson, Bryant
12 - Paz, Rich
9 - Smith, Bobby

Outfielders (4)
22 - Bikowski, Scott
25 - Borchard, Joe
11 - Reed, Jeremy
7 - Valenzuela, Mario

This seems like a decent team. They should get good, steady production from the position players (with the possibility of monster years from Reed or Borchard) and the rotation (Rauch-Diaz-Grilli-Stewart-Pacheco?) ought to be pretty good. I daresay there is someone on this team to fill any need if a Sox gets injured.

Wasn't Grilli a Rule 5 guy or did I miss something?

15 - Duncan, Courtney

The ex-Flub, I presume?

[SoxxoS]

Pretty ordinary team.

The Marlins sold his rights for the $25,000 payback fee.

Thanks. I guess Florida really wanted the guy.

The Marlins would've had to send him back to the minors and he was out of options so they had no choice really but to allow him to become a free agent.

I'll try to let you guys know how they look up close and personal. I am going to see them when they play the Richmond Braves this month.
