A possibility.  Headed to San Antonio and El Paso to watch the Padres' high minors before it gets too hot in Texas.  I'll let you know.

When you see the fire and passion to go along with burgeoning talent and a great work ethic, you challenge that individual.  I think that's what parents do with their kids under those circumstances, at least I hope they do, so let the kid play!  I'll be making several of those trips to Lake Elsinore up the 15 to see what I expect will be a young and very exciting team.

I never said they won’t, I simply asked for the source of this rumor beyond Lins article where they said he will most likely be in extended.

If Salas does go to Lake Elsinore I will definitely make a 45 minute drive to watch this kid…for 16 years of age he will be a must see

Opening Day Fort Wayne Tincaps Roster looks complete - 17 pitchers, 3 catchers, 7 infielders and 3 OF (including Mears!).  Several of the infielders and even a couple of the catchers likely to see time in the OF.  Should be a very competitive team with a strong pitching staff.  Could be a few other players on the IL; these aren't usually added until later.

San Antonio Missions Roster looks set but have 30 players listed; thought AA could only have 28.  Anyway, 16 pitchers, 4 catchers, 6 inf and 4 OF.

Where is Merrill? Zavala?

Merrill is not with San Antonio so I would assume that means he will be in Ft Wayne.

My guess is Zavala will be in LE.?

Zavala is on The Storm. Salas is not. I've only seen The Storm and Missions release rosters so far.

Quote from fenn68 on March 28, 2023, 12:47 pm

Fort Wayne has theirs out too.

Merrill is at FW ... along with second round pick Mazur.

In LE we get Snelling and Zavala. Plus Doersching  returns to LE.

EP has a lot of trimming yet to announce since I still have them with 27 pitchers not counting Morejon or Castillo who if healthy will end up there.

This is why I was asking for sources behind the LE rumors.  I am as excited as anyone about Salas but think a few members are expecting a bit to much on how aggressively he will be placed
