Predicting the minor league rosters - Richmond Flying Moose (Talking Squirrels?)

Otherwise known as "the place where promising Giant hitting prospects go to die." The Eastern League is a very tough environment for hitters in general. There are a lot of advanced young pitchers and wily veteran pitchers in the league that know how to mess with a hitter's timing and get inside his head. On top of that, the Richmond stadium is one of the toughest hitter's park in the all of the minor league's - especially in terms of power hitting - with dead zones from gap-to-gap. So Gary Brown and Tommy Joseph, 2 of the 3 highest ranked prospects in the org, have their work cut out for them as they attempt to translate their great offensive numbers from the Cal League into AA ball. The other major storyline to keep an eye on this season in Richmond is how the top starters and relievers from the San Jose team translate their success from A+ to AA ball.

Time for you to get your hacks in. Bonus points given to posters that don't have any overlap from their Augsta and SJ rosters in the previous threads. To refresh your memory, here's the Adoption Draft doc that shows almost all of the Giants' minor leaguers that are currently eligible to be assigned to teams:

For a template, I suggest we go with 6 starting pitchers, 6 relievers, 9 starting postion players (including DH) and 6 bench players.
