When Great Falls comes to Billings to play the Reds affiliate-Billings Mustangs I'll give you a report on what I see in Oney Guillen and KW2. Billings has a new ballpark opening this year and games should be real fun.

This from the Great Falls Tribune this morning...

 

Newly signed pitchers Dan Hudson and Dexter Carter will be arriving in Great Falls any day now.

 

Hudson was 5-6 with a 4.76 earned-run average this spring. The righthander led the Colonial Athletic Conference in strikeouts (107 in 92 innings). In three seasons, Hudson amassed 295 strikeouts in 292 innings, which ranks second all-time at ODU. The 6-3, 200-pounder was a second-team all-CAA choice this spring after making the first team a year ago.

 

Carter, meanwhile, is a 6-6, 198-pounder who was 3-4 with an 8.76 ERA. In two years at Old Dominion Carter fanned 100 hitters in 107 innings.

 

Manager Chris Cron said first baseman Doug Thennis of Texas Tech (27th round) is slated to join Voyagers soon. The veteran manager is also hopeful that Wichita State outfielder Ken Williams Jr., the son of the Chisox general manager, will soon sign and be dispatched to Great Falls.

So we only have eight people signed?:

 

I was reading this thing today that the Brewers have 20 of their picks signed.

 

 

I'm sure we have more than that. It's just that the Chicago media does a pathetic job of covering our minor league teams.

As of this morning, it looks like we have at least 17 picks signed. And Great Falls roster isn't posted yet.
