Where are they now?

Monday was the day most minor league teams announced their rosters. Four former Wild Things pitchers will begin seasons in affiliated ball this week. Here's where they were assigned:

Tom Cochran - Will be in the starting rotation for Lehigh Valley, the Philadelphia Phillies' Class AAA affiliate.

Alan Williams - After moving from the Frontier League to rookie ball and then to low-Class A last year, Williams has been assigned to the Brevard County Manatees, the Milwaukee Brewers' high-Class A affiliate. The pitching coach at Brevard County? Former Wild Things coach Mark Dewey.

Vidal Nuno - Last year's opening day starter for the Wild Things will open this season with the Tampa Yankees, New York's high-Class A club.

Mark Williams - Has been assigned to the low-Class A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in the Milwaukee Brewers' system. It appears that Williams will be a starting pitcher. The Timber Rattlers' home field is the same one on which Williams and Marietta College won an NCAA Division III national championship.
