I have been told to expect the minor league rosters to be released later today. I’m not sure when we will start to see all of them but I’d think by the end of the day we will have seen them. For now, I’m going to go through the Top 25 prospect list and taking a rather educated guess at where will wind up.

There are only a few guys on the list that make it a bit tougher to project, but those are my guesses. We do know for a fact where some of the Top 25 guys will begin. Some are starting in Cincinnati and we know that. In the day and age of technology though, we already know where some of the guys are are. Some have posted and shared things on social media. Some local media places were around when the planes arrived from Arizona. Things can still change between now and when the season starts, but here’s what we know thanks to that:

Louisville Bats

For the most part, we know who will wind up on this roster. Many of the Louisville Bats players to start the 2017 season were also on the Reds team during the 2017 Futures Games that were played in Dayton and Louisville. Here’s that list of players – with only some of the pitching staff that wasn’t scheduled to pitch seemingly missing. Bronson Arroyo has been assigned to the Bats, but it’s simply a procedural move until it’s his day to start for the Reds.

Pensacola Blue Wahoos

WEARTV was at the airport when the Blue Wahoos arrived from Arizona. From the pictures and video we’ve got a few names that will be here aside from some listed above. In no order it seems that Gabby Guerrero, Joe Hudson, Eric Jagielo, Brennan Bernardino, Deck McGuire, Austin Ross, Alex Blandino, Taylor Sparks and Brian O’Grady (according to his twitter account) will all begin the year with Pensacola.

Daytona Tortugas

Jake Paulson tweeted out that he was flying to Daytona.

Dayton Dragons

No confirmations from any of the Dragons players that I was able to see anywhere.
