Updated roster

Here is the Wild Things' updated roster, which includes the signings Wednesday of former Peters Township High School and Duquesne University first baseman Aaron Janusey (pictured) and outfielder Blake Butler, who played last year in the independent United League.

Keep in mind that each Frontier League team must follow these roster guidelines:

1. A team can have no more than 3 Veterans.
2. A team can have no more than 2 players classified as L2.
3. A team can have no more than 7 players classified as L1.
4. A team that goes with the maximum 24-man roster must have at least 12 players who are Rookies.

If a team does not have the maximum number of players in a particular classification, it can fill with players from a lower classification. For example, if you have only 2 Veterans, then you can carry 3 L2 players on your roster.

The * after a player's name means the club has announced he has signed a contract for 2009.

As you can see, Washington has plenty of room for L1 players, which will likely be used to sign starting pitchers released from minor-league camps.
