2013 Projected Minor League Teams

This is the start of a continuing post that we'll update at least one a week throughout the off-season. Right now, it just has my thoughts on the guys that have locked up new assignments next opening day on one of the four full season teams

Now, I'm going to ask for you input regarding some of the players I have listed at the bottom of the page. There's a lot of names there and a bunch of these guys have to say buh-bye, but I'm sure you can convince me to put some of them up here.

We'll then discuss it from there, take names off, put more on, and try and keep busy and positive during the off-season.

Lot's of talent here. We just have to figure out where to play them.

Now, this was the easy part. As you can see there are plenty of holes (though the rotations seems closed to set.) The problem here is the amount of players in the system that still need to find a home. Let's be fair, many of these will only play for short-season teams, but wait until you see how many relief pitchers there still are in the system! Here goes:
