Updated roster

Here's an updated roster of the Broncos so far, as of today.

Keep in mind that practice does not start until June 3:

Catchers
Alexis Osuna (32 yrs. old; 6-2, 210 pounds)
Kylee Hash (21 yrs. old; 6-2, 206 pounds)

Infielders
Robert Moron (1B; 23 years old; 6-0, 205 pounds)
Matt Imwalle (1B/DH; 26 years old; 5-10, 225 pounds)
Cleveland Brownlee (1B/OF)
Miguel Ortiz (2B; 30 years old; 6-1, 175 pounds)
Trever Dimick (3B; 26 years old; 6-2, 195 pounds)
Jaime Morales (INF; 25 years old; 6-1, 165 pounds)
Ryan Flynn (INF; 23 years old; 6-3, 190 pounds)
Luis Ugueto (SS; 30 years old; 5-11, 180 pounds)

Outfielders
Andres "El Monkey" Santos (OF; 23 years old; 5-11, 210 pounds)
Anthony Bennett (OF; 26 years old; 6-0, 195 pounds)
O.J. Garza (OF; 5-11, 190 pounds)
Selwyn Langaigne (OF; 33 years old; 6-0, 190 pounds)

Pitchers
Dan Sausville (RHP; 25 years old; 6-2, 205 pounds)
Gustavo Vasquez (RHP; 31 years old; 6-0, 170 pounds)
Nathan Crawford (RHP; 22 years old; 6-6, 200 pounds)
Tristan Crawford (RHP; 26 years old; 6-3, 180 pounds)
Gregorio Martinez (RHP; 26 years old; 6-1, 160 pounds)
Maximo de la Cruz (RHP; 23 years old; 6-1, 160 pounds)

A few things of note:

The Broncos have NO left-handed pitching. At all. I assume that will be addressed before practices begin.

Also, there are three switch-hitters on the team (Hash, Imwalle and Ugueto). There are four left-handed hitters (Moron, Ortiz, Bennett and Langaigne).

Martinez and de la Cruz are the only noted starters as of now, meaning three spots in the rotation are still up for grabs.

Broncos sign star OF

The Broncos have been signing a plethora of local talent this offseason. On Monday, they went for a big name in outfielder Selwyn Langaigne.

Selwyn is a premier star in United League Baseball, having hit over .300 in the last three seasons, all for the Alexandria Aces.

Broncos GM Jose Melendez said the team will be constructed around him and that he is most noted for his great leadership and strong clubhouse presence, two things the team desperately lacked last season.

Melendez said the team has three more "big" moves on the horizon before practices begin June 3.
