Chris Beck (Chicago, AL), Jacob Brown (Oakland) and Shawn Payne (San Fransico) are all on Class A Advanced teams. Beck is starting the year in the Winston-Salem Dash's rotation, while Brown is a relief pitcher for the Stockton Ports. Payne is starting the year off where he finished 2012 in San Jose. Payne appeared in the final two games for the Giants after a strong season in Augusta.
Matt Murray (Kansas City) and Victor Roache (Milwaukee) have yet to appear in a game in the early going but both are expected to start their seasons in Class A. Both Murray and Roache missed last season with injuries. Murray made 12 starts for Burlington in 2011, while Roache has yet to make his minor league debut.
