Dayton Dragons 2014 Roster

Dayton Dragons Roster | Bakersfield Blaze Roster | Pensacola Blue Wahoos Roster | Louisville Bats Roster

Here is the official roster for the Dayton Dragons. I will do separate posts for each team as the rosters are released (and tomorrow I will have some roster previews for each team) and each roster will be linked at the top of the post when they are released so you can go between the various rosters.

I will do a more detailed roster breakdown for tomorrow. For now, here are some quick thoughts:

  • The starting rotation returns four guys from the 2013 season and adds in newcomer Junior Morillo.
  • The bullpen looks very strong. Surprised that Chacin is returning, he was very good last year.
  • Three catchers on this current roster seems like one too many, but Dailey can also play the infield, so maybe it isn’t.
  • The infield defense should be very good once again.
  • Sebastian Elizalde could be an intriguing follow. His time in the Mexican League should have him prepared well for the Midwest League.
  • Sean Buckley is back. He can’t play the field yet, so he will serve as a DH to begin the year.
