Other likely early attendees: switch hititng 2b Vidal Brujan, Rhp Orlando Romero, lhp Josh Fleming, cf Josh Lowe. These guys are on track for double-A debut soon and could be among the players introduced at this years Meet the Biscuits, depending on how the players shake out after spring training, but didn't quite fit into our view of the positional situations.

NOTES:
Predictions are tough for minor league teams, so much depends on spring training and other factors unknown.

Expect a crop of new faces, as per usual. The Biscuits will have a lot of players getting their first taste of double-A, including new skipper Morgan Ensberg.

Two-way stud Brendan McKay probably won't start with the Biscuits. Since McKay was in less than fifty games at A+ Port Charlotte, he likely needs more seasoning before Biscuit fans get a look. Expect him mid-season.

Lets hope we hear the Barons confirm the expected date and team for the Rickwood Classic - Montgomery is in a prime spot to return to the throwback game.



UPDATE NOTES:
A few former Biscuits found jobs.

Justin O'Conner signed a minor league deal with the White Sox.
 Tyler Goeddel signed a minor league deal with the Nationals
Boog Powell signed a minor league deal with the Padres
Kyle Lobstein signed a minor league deal with the A's
