Haddonfield Hackers Set Opening Day Roster

Haddonfield has cut the Spring Training roster down to the 25 man limit. Here's a look at the roster, with career stats highlighted. Opening Day Starters in italics. Career Stats: SP- W/L ERA, RP- K/9 ERA, Batters- OBP/SLG

Starting Rotation
LHP Rafael Hinojosa (47-37 4.56)
RHP Jose Robles (44-47 4.58)
LHP John Young (34-38 5.27)
RHP Guillermo Mendoza (2-1 9.47)
LHP Nick Emery (36-30 4.50)

If Haddonfield wants to make a run at the division, they're going to need to score some runs. Only 3 of the starters are near the league average ERA. Hackers fans are anticipating Guillermo Mendoza's first full major league season. Strong seasons will be needed from lefties Hinojosa and Emery.

Bullpen
RHP Paul Hill (6.4, 4.57)
RHP Raymond Jones (6.9, 4.14)
LHP Corey Ogle (10.2, 4.45)
RHP David Nash (rookie)
RHP Mike Cunningham (6.8, 3.99)
RHP Jose Corona (8.7, 3.46)
RHP Dylan Cooling (8.4, 2.95)

If the Hackers get early leads, they are comfortable with their ability to hold. Cunningham and Corona will setup for Dylan Cooling to close games out.

Catchers
C Hyung-jin Park (.337/.419)
C Brant Garrison (.389/.423)

Haddonfield's going with Park over the aging veteran Garrison for the starting job.

Infielders
1B Ye-qing Chen (.344/.469)
2B Luis Gonzalez (.334/.406)
SS Jason Jackson (.352/.438)
2B Ken Adams (.349/.363)
3B Louis May (.394/.442)
SS Manuel Mendoza (.390/.405)

The season depends on third baseman Louis May to carry the team offensively. The deepest part of the roster, the Hackers are comfortable starting any of their infielders.

Outfielders
LF Alberto Perez (.329/.525)
LF Ray Tremblett (.295/.358)
CF Cory Daniel (.363/.444)
RF Chad Bass (.337/.438)
RF Sterling LaBrie

Cory Daniel will leadoff for the Hackers and start in the outfield or as the DH. Rookie Sterling LaBrie and Alberto Perez will fill in while Ray Tremblett misses the first week of the season with injury.


The Hackers open their season with a three game set at division rival Kansas City Cougars. The Cougars finished 2010 with 85 wins and a 2nd place finish in a very difficult Prefect Division.
