If you missed Friday’s column, I took a few moments to quickly layout the names which will conceivably make up the majority of the Oklahoma City Dodgers 25-man roster when they open the season early next month at Iowa. In my haste, I foolishly grouped Rocky Gale and Shawn Zarraga together at Triple-A, while paring Will Smith and Keibert Ruiz together at Double-A Tulsa.
After reconsidering, and a few influential words from the venerable Jeff D., it completely makes sense to have, say, Smith play under the tutelage under Gale at OKC, while Ruiz gets the primary reps at Tulsa with Zarraga at his side for mentoring.
