While Triple-A started on Tuesday and gave Jake Burger a chance to play 164 games this season, today marks Opening Night for the rest of Minor League Baseball.
In classic White Sox fashion, they're waiting until the last minute for wholesale roster announcements. The Winston-Salem Dash were kind enough to share their roster, perhaps due to excitement over Oscar Colás, and James Fox will have a preview later today. As for Birmingham and Kannapolis, we'll act on them as soon as they're official.
While the Knights finish the second half of their series in Norfolk, the other three affiliates start the season at home. Birmingham hosts Rocket City, Winston-Salem opens against Hickory and Kannapolis gets started versus Fayetteville.
