CDT: Spikes’ roster in major shuffle mode

By Guy Cipriano – gciprian@centredaily.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The State College Spikes went on a six-game roadtrip and returned to Medlar Field at Lubrano Park with a new team.

Spikes left-hander Mike Felix made his season debut with the team on Sunday against Mahoning Valley. He threw four innings of relief in a 5-4 Scrappers win.

OK, that’s stretching it. But today’s Spikes don’t resemble the group that started the season here earlier this month.

Spikes Start Off on the Wrong Hoof

The State College Spikes opened the New York/Penn League season last night before a SRO crowd, but were completely overmatched by the Crosscutters.  Five of the Pirates’ 2009 draft picks, who have already signed contracts, are with the Spikes already, and made their professional debuts in the game:  LF Jose Hernandez, 2B(SS) Ty Summerlin, DH (OF) Pat Irvine, RHP Jason Erickson, and RHP Marc Baca.  Dutch South African player Brett Willemburg also made his pro baseball debut, coming in as a late-inning replacement at shortstop.  First-round pick C Tony Sanchez is scheduled to join the team tomorrow, for a few games before being moved to the West Virginia Power roster next week.  Ninth-round pick, INF Brock Holt has also signed and has been added to the Spikes’ roster.

CDT: Young arms hope to be key to success

Guy Cipriano

UNIVERSITY PARK — Last year is behind the State College Spikes.

Spikes player Matt Payne talks with a television station during the team’s media day at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Thursday, June 18, 2009.

Or is it really? Because 11 players wearing Spikes uniforms provide a baseball player’s glow — one that’s hidden to prevent giddiness, but exists internally — when somebody mentions 2008.

The quickest way to put a 18-56 in the trash runs through the bodies, minds, and perhaps most importantly, the arms of current Spikes making the jump from Bradenton of the Gulf Coast League.
