The First Starting Lineup

We greet you from newly-named CMC-NorthEast Stadium in Kannapolis for today’s exhibition between the Dash and the Intimidators, the White Sox’s Low-A squad. Our view from the booth is right behind home plate (I apologize for the cell phone picture).

We will keep you updated on the game’s action on our twitter feed, which you can check out here.

For now, I’m sure plenty of people are wondering how the Dash’s lineup will look. Here is what new skipper Tommy Thompson has in store this afternoon’s exhibition. One note: Trayce Thompson, a highly-touted outfield prospect, will not arrive in Winston-Salem until later this week. He will be a fixture in the lineup once the season rolls around.

Dash Lineup:

SS-Marcus Semien
2B-Carlos Sanchez
CF-Nick Ciolli
1B-Dan Black
C-Mike Blanke
LF-Brady Shoemaker
RF-Ross Wilson
DH-Daniel Wagner
3B-Jake Oester
DH-Michael Earley

And yes, there are 10 guys in the lineup and two DH’s. Thompson and the coaching staff want to see everybody, so we’ve got two DH’s this afternoon. Stay tuned here and on Twitter.
