Projected Timber Rattler roster

Bernie's Crew edition.

Click the link for the potential roster. Here are some of Jim's thoughts:
Wow, this team is talented. The Fox Cities area should finally have a winning team in its midst.

How good is that starting rotation? Cody Scarpetta is my choice for the Breakout Pitcher of the Year in the organization. Even the "fifth starter" in my projections, Efrain Nieves, was thought to perhaps have the best arm in the Pioneer League last season.

Again, there is simply too many arms to go around. As much as I tried, I could not find space for Jake Odorizzi on the roster. I believe the young man will make his debut in Appleton in 2009, but where is he to go? Michael Bowman, Lucas Luetge, and Cody Adams all deserve to start the season in Appleton as well. Even Nick Tyson should be in that rotation.
Anything about....
The offense should be fun to watch. Brett Lawrie will absorb most of the media attention, but his supporting cast should be more than capable. Erik Komatsu and Cutter Dykstra will be entertaining to watch patrole the outfield, and Chris Dennis can hit absolute bombs.

Hey, i'm as excited as the next diehard T-Rat fan, but 2005 wasn't that long ago...
