Here is the Opening Day roster for the Hickory Crawdads, with added insights from Scott Lucas (@scottrlucas), who writes the minor league reports for the Newberg Report.
Hickory Pitchers Akeem Bostick
Felix Carvallo
Abel de los Santos
Cody Kendall
David Ledbetter
Ryan Ledbetter
Frank Lopez
Yohander Mendez
David Perez
Ricardo Rodriguez
Ryne Slack
Tyler Smith
Kelvin Vasquez
Collin Wiles
Cole Wiper
2013 picks Bostick, Ryan Ledbetter and Wiper are bypassing short-season Spokane, and the 20-year Carvallo joins straight from the Dominican Summer League. Making a belated full-season debut is 6'5" lefty David Perez. Once among Texas's brightest prospects, Perez underwent Tommy John surgery in 2012 and has only 11.2 innings to his credit during the past two years.
Hickory Catchers
Kellin Deglan
Kevin Torres
Deglan's demotion to Hickory is easily the most disappointing assignment. The 22nd-overall pick from four summers ago is commencing 2014 where he began 2011.
Hickory Infielders
2B Travis Demeritte
1B Ronald Guzman
SS Luis Marte
IF Nick Urbanus
IF Nick Vickerson
2013 first-rounder Demeritte joins Hickory as a 19-year-old. The others are repeating the level. Guzman has earned raves in camp and ought to finish in Myrtle Beach.
Hickory Outfielders
Jairo Beras
Lewis Brinson
Nomar Mazara
Eduard Pinto
I wasn't sure whether Texas might let Beras skip Spokane. Still 18 according to the accepted birthdate, he's talented but raw. Brinson and Mazara are repeating the level but have an excellent shot at significant time in Myrtle Beach. Brinson is the only Crawdad with significant CF experience. Beras manned the position some this spring. The 19-year-old Pinto has a contact-oriented bat and ought to receive ample playing time despite 4th OF status.
