Current roster

Because this is supposed to be a blog about the Washington Wild Things – and this is the first post on the blog – the best place to start is with the current roster. With less than one week remaining before spring training begins, here is the Wild Things' roster:

Pitchers (14)
Jimmy Barrett
Tom Cochran
Jason Duncan
Cory Hahn
Michael Hauff
Ian Heisel
Gus Hlebovy
J.J. Hollenbeck
Roy Irle
Justin Mattison
Jeff Michael
Patrick Sadler
Justin Staatz
Patrick Stanley

Catchers (3)
Kevin Butler
Mario Garza
Pat O'Brien

Infielder (7)
Justin Gregula
Jarrod Klausman
Robbie Knapp
Nathan Messner
Kyle Padgett
Ben Ramsey
Kyle Werman

Outfielders (4)
Mike Arbinger
Jarod Rine
Chris Sidick
Matt Sutton

NOTE: Cochran's signing has not been announced but he is listed on the roster.

There are 28 players on the roster – 7 under the 35-man league limit. It is unlikey, however, that camp will begin with 35 players. Expect 31 to 33.
