On Wednesday morning, Dion Lefler of The Wichita Eagle shared these detailed renderings of the new ballpark opening in 2020:The project is costing the city of Wichita approximately $75 million. The Baby Cakes—a new name will be used after the move—are playing in NOLA this season during the construction.Lawrence-Dumont Stadium used to occupy that spot along the Arkansas River. The 84-year-old venue was demolished earlier this winter. Lawrence-Dumont was previously home to both affiliated and independent professional baseball teams, though never as high as the Triple-A level.Baby Cakes managing partner Lou Schwechheimer is pretty fired up about it:There will be 6 http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-b.j.-upton-jersey ,000 fixed seats, which would be enough to hold some of the major league crowds we saw at Marlins Park last year. Grid View City of Wichita City of Wichita City of Wichita City of WichitaSchwechheimer goes on to say that the ballpark hopes to host plenty of non-baseball events, specifically football and ice hockey.Top Marlins prospects who project to make it to Triple-A in 2020—at least for part of the season—include right-handers Jorge Guzman and Jordan Yamamoto, outfielder Tristan Pompey and third baseman James Nelson. Wichita is much farther away from Miami than New Orleans was, but the change will improve the logistics of traveling to other Pacific Coast League cities. The City Council still needs to approve the ballpark plan. It’s expected to do so at a Feb. 12 meeting with a formal groundbreaking ceremony the following day. They’re all ballplayers!"The Royals have officially announced their 25-man Opening Day roster, although we had a good idea of who might be on it. The team will open with a three-man starting rotation due to all the early off-days, and they won’t need to add Homer Bailey to the rotation until a fourth starter is needed, likely April 3. Lucas Duda was a late addition to the roster, signing with the team last week, and he will serve as a veteran bat that could DH and push Jorge Soler to right field. You could also see Whit Merrifield and Chris Owings spend some time in right field as both offer a lot of positional versatility. Frank Schwindel, who hit 41 home runs over the last two seasons in AAA Omaha Josh Tomlin Jersey , also makes the team as a first baseman and could make his Major League debut. Kyle Zimmer, the oft-injured former first-round pick made the roster after a sensational spring training and will also look to make his Major League debut, as will Rule 5 pick Chris Ellis.The Royals will begin the season with Salvador Perez, who is out for the year with an elbow injury, and Danny Duffy, who experienced shoulder stiffness and is aiming to return in late April. Brian Flynn was also placed on the injured list today and Trevor Oaks was placed on the 60-day injured list.Catchers (2): Cam Gallagher, Martin MaldonadoInfielders (7): Hunter Dozier, Lucas Duda, Whit Merrifield, Adalberto Mondesi, Ryan O’Hearn Carlos Carrasco Jersey , Chris Owings, Frank SchwindelOutfielders (4): Alex Gordon, Terrance Gore, Billy Hamilton, Jorge SolerStarting pitchers (3): Jakob Junis, Brad Keller, Jorge LopezRelief pitchers (9): Scott Barlow, Brad Boxberger, Jake Diekman, Chris Ellis, Tim Hill Cliff Pennington Jersey , Ian Kennedy, Kevin McCarthy, Wily Peralta, Kyle ZimmerInjured list: Danny Duffy, Brian Flynn, Jesse Hahn, Salvador PerezSuspended: Eric Skoglund2019 Royals Opening Day RosterNumberPlayerPositionAgeBats/Throws2018 ClubNumberPlayerPositionAgeBats/Throws2018 Club
