RF Jose Valentin (Age 21, Bats: L, Throws: L)

Reserves:
RHP Jorge Reyes (Age 26)
3B Jesús Díaz (Age 25, Bats: L, Throws: R)

The Gamblers' roster is headlined by right fielder Jose Valentin (.313/.384/.622, 40 HR, 113 RBI for Class-AAA Brooklyn), outfielder / designated hitter Antonio Rivera (.296/.385/.562, 28 HR, 106 RBI for Class-AAA Brooklyn), and center fielder Edward Lake (.329/.429/.616, 28 HR, 99 RBI for Class-AA Trenton). Valentin and Rivera are BBA-ready or close to ready, and a solid Winter League season may help propel them to the roster similar to last year's success story -- OF Stewart Illingworth, who went on to win the 2041 BBA Johnson League Golden Bat Award for left field in his rookie season. Outfielder Ewan Allman (.270/.369/.371, 90 R, 33 2B for Class-AA Trenton), a former DRAKE All-Star during the 2038 season, looks the part of a plus-defensive outfielder, even in center field. The 22-year old also has reportedly has experience playing in the infield from his playing days in his native England, but hasn't logged any innings as an infielder to date playing in the Gamblers' minor league system. Tallahassee skipper Chad Cannon said about Allman, "we haven't been given instructions other than to put these guys in the best position to win. So at this point, I'd expect we'll have Allman manning center field rather than playing in the infield". 21-year old slugging first baseman / designated hitter Jack Cox (.348/.386/.679, 44 HR, 110 RBI for Class-A Long Island) and raw 19-year old Aaron McDaniel (.299/.359/.539, 48 R, 20 2B, 13 HR for Class-Short Season A Bogota) are expected to see playing time.

Tallahassee lacks blue chip starting pitching, but eyes are going to be on 20-year old left-handed reliever Carlos Flores (2-0, 33 saves in 34 opps, 0.92 ERA, 0.71 WHIP for Class-AAA Brooklyn), who thrived for Class-AAA Brooklyn last season. 22-year old right-handed reliever Govaart Coster (1-5, 31 saves in 33 opps, 2.89 ERA, 1.06 WHIP for Class-AA Trenton) also is intriguing based on his yearly success within the Gamblers' minor league system, but to a lesser extent than Flores.

Time will tell how the Tallahassee Gamblers' season plays out.

Valentin laid waste to the FPL in 2041, should be even better this year.
