Updated roster

If you compare to the roster posted earlier, you'll notice significant changes. The first was what was expected at 2 p.m. today, the most recent is what was certain at 7 p.m. That's a lot of change. Everyone with a line through their name either hasn't signed or was sent elsewhere within the organization. Sometimes these decisions are made last minute.

You'll notice there's just one catcher. That will not last long. Eric Roof is unofficially en route to Norwich.

The guys you see named below can change before the season opener, almost certainly before the home opener. I'll try to keep you as updated as possible as the changes occur.

    Some comments:

    -Polk, Rowland and Tang should form a pretty good defensive outfield.

    -Robbins is a high-upside guy with a lot of power. Expect him to be a middle-of-the-order run-producer for CT.

    -Michael Torrealba seems like the most likely candidate for closer and he should be rock-solid in that capacity.

    -I expect Mendoza, Sanz, Carreno and Guichardo will all be in the starting rotation. Not sure about the 5th starter...possibly Baxter.

    are any of these guys considered stud prospects?

    It's tough to say. Of the guys with pro experience, no, none are stud prospects. Of the newly drafted guys, we'll all learn together this season if they appear to have a high ceiling. The guy to watch out for, though, is Robbins.
