With pitchers Ryan Braiser, Jeremy Haynes, Sammy Leon, and Jordon Towns, catchers Alberto Rosario, Chris Rosenbaum and Brian Walker, infielders Efren Navarro, P.J. Phillips and Abel Nieves, and outfielder Anthony Norman, this version of the Quakes will have a good mix of young talent and strong veteran leadership.
