Minor League Opening Day Rundown

Written by Greg Fertel | 08 April 2010

Minor League opening day is upon us. The Yankees' four full season affiliates have their first games this evening, and we'll finally get a peek at what the lineups will look like. All four teams will be debuting at home at 7:05 PM. I'm sure we'll get some good reports from the beat writers at Trenton and Scranton and I'll pass along any information they have.

I figured now would be a good time to run down all of the things we've been discussing over the past few weeks.

We discussed what you all would like from Pending Pinstripes this afternoon. If you didn't comment there already, please chime in with your suggestions; they're much appreciated.

I posted an updated Top 30 prospect list with links to every profile that we have posted. You can also always find the profiles on the right hand sidebar for reference.

Quite a few reputable bloggers took part in a minor league roundtable that I hosted. Once again, I thank all of them for contributing and you can find their answers, along with mine, in four parts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

I've taken a brief look at each affiliate's opening day roster, something that is worth checking out if you're wondering who is starting where:

I also want to commend Mike Ashmore on the hard work he's been doing to provide us with great information. First, he did a multitude of interviews at media day and then ran down both the position players and pitchers on the 2010 Trenton Thunder roster.

Enjoy following along the games tonight or watching on MiLB.TV. We should have an exciting season ahead of us so keep coming back to Pending Pinstripes for the latest news and analysis.
