The Bradenton Marauders have announced their 2015 Opening Day roster. There will be some changes to the following list, since several of the players listed are going to start the season on the disabled list. The highlight of the group will be the top prospect combo of Austin Meadows and Reese McGuire.

Cody Dickson
Frank Duncan
Tyler Eppler*
Felipe Gonzalez
Ryan Hafner
Henry Hirsch

The guys with an asterisk will all begin the season on the disabled list. Injury updates for all players can be found here.
The rotation looks to include Cody Dickson, Steven Brault, Felipe Gonzalez, Henry Hirsch, and Frank Duncan, although the last two names aren’t confirmed yet. Eventually the rotation will have Tyler Eppler, Clay Holmes, and Luis Heredia joining the mix, although all three are expected to start the year in extended Spring Training.
The outfield will eventually get Harold Ramirez, who is also starting off in extended Spring Training. I’d expect some changes to the group when all of the injured players return.
