Breaking Down Frisco’s ‘Break Camp’ Roster
Share this story
There will be minor league baseball in 2021. Which, y’know, wasn’t the case in 2020.
That reminder is one of the first things that jumped out to me while reading the “Break Camp” roster released by the Frisco RoughRiders yesterday, the full version of which features a column labeled “last team” that notes when and where each player suited up most recently.
Twenty-two of the 24 names listed haven’t played in a professional game since 2019, with the exceptions being Sherten Apostel, who got into seven games with the big league club last season, and 2017 fifth-round pick Jake Latz, who killed off some pandy time in indy ball with the Sugarland Skeeters.
James A. Rhodes State Office Tower earns Energy Star certification
COLUMBUS – For the third year in a row, the James A. Rhodes State Office Tower has earned Energy Star certification.
The 2020 designation was due in part to a nearly complete modernization project and other conservation initiatives by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services. The tower is the tallest building in downtown Columbus, and at 41 stories, it is also the tallest building in state government.
“Among our top priorities in the management of DAS-owned facilities are energy efficiency and saving taxpayer dollars,” DAS Interim Director Matt Whatley said. “The Rhodes Tower project, as well as additional measures to reduce energy use as building systems are replaced, are creating a modern facility and advancing our goal of making state government a friend of the environment.”

SURPRISE, Ariz. Throughout the offseason and Spring Training, Rangers manager Chris Woodward has said that the team needs to get “creative” with its pitching rotation early in the 2021 season.
It now seems that will likely manifest itself as two sets of tandem-type starters behind the trio of Kyle Gibson, Kohei Arihara and Mike Foltynewicz. Dane Dunning, Taylor Hearn, Kyle Cody, Wes Benjamin and Kolby Allard are all in competition for those piggyback roles.
“There s some strategy to it, you know, putting guys with one after another,” Woodward said. “You’ve got to have opposite arms, obviously, with one guy throwing two-seamers this way and another guy throwing 97 this way. Just matching them up the best way possible. I think this is something we re definitely talking about.”

The Texas Rangers have announced the next line of roster moves as the regular season inches closer and closer.
First baseman Curtis Terry, a career minor-leaguer, remains in the mix for the Opening Day roster. Terry is among a list of older players who are still in a prospect status . However, the Rangers sent a clear message to Terry that his work hasn t gone unnoticed. He s a good player, man, Chris Woodward said. Curt Terry has done everything possible in the world to prove he deserves a shot in the big leagues at some point.
Terry, 24, was the Rangers 13th-round pick in the 2015 MLB Draft. After five years on the Rangers farm, Terry has made a name for himself with a very powerful bat. He hasn t played above Class-A baseball, but the unique 2020 season broke that barrier, as the Rangers called up five similar players to the big leagues last year.
