This is going to be my official declaration of who I feel will be starters on Opening Day for the Ironpigs. Let’s see how good my guesses turn out to be…
Catcher – Paul Hoover
1st Base – Andy Tracy
2nd Base – Brian Bocock
3rd Base – Cody Ransom
Shortstop – Wilson Valdez
Left Field – Rich Thompson
Center Field – Quintin Berry
Right Field – John Mayberry
Starting pitchers:
Drew Carpenter would have been #1 if he hadn’t been called to the Phillies.
Nate Bump
Ryan Vogelsong
Joe Savery
Brian Mazone
Bullpen:
Scott Mathieson
Mike Zagurski
Jason Anderson
Jake Woods
Mathieson should practice in the close role with Brad Lidge’s health and performance questionable at best.
A lot of veteran’s in this lineup that is light on young prospects.
5 days until the exhibition game. 7 days to the start of play..




Looks pretty good. Just taking a stab in the dark, here’s my lineup card:
1. Thompson LF
2. Berry CF
3. Sellers DH
4. Tracy 1B
5. Mayberry RF
6. Ransom 3B
7. Bocock SS (I’m switching SS/2B on purpose, no reason)
8. Hoover C
9. Valdez 2B
