With the A season over, here is a look at the Fort Wayne pitchers and their eligibility for Rule V and free agency.
Here are the links to the other reviews I have written:
A players with offseason interest include:
Herrera came over in Blanks trade and was youngest player on staff. He is worth watching.
Butler had a reputation as a fireballer and could move up system quickly.
Verbitsky was promoted from Eugene late in the year.
