I live in Arkansas & we have a new AA team (the old Wichita Wranglers) starting this season in Springdale. My wife & I plan on going every time the Hooks are in town. Just wanted to know who we needed to keep an eye on. It will be interesting to watch the Naturals since they are the AA team of the Royals. With Dayton Moore as GM, they apparently have some really promising talent in their A-AA squads right now.

There are a lot of people that go to Hawg games just for a sports fix that aren't even affiliated with UA or the state of Arkansas. One name to watch for is Josh Flores.

There is nothing to do here between Razorback Baseball season (which is very popular right now) & Razorback football season, so I hope this area will support the team. Not to mention...my chance to see future Astros prospects!!

Kind of hard to answer your question, since we don't know for sure whom will be assigned to AA to start the season, and whom might be expected to move up to AA at mid-season, etc. Here is the Sickles grade for the Astros' prospects posted on the minor league thread (of course, many near the top of the list have been traded). http://evilwontwin.yuku.com/topic/768 Guessing here that some of the names on the list who might be of interest at AA: Brad James, Bud Norris, and Bogusevic, starting pitchers; Josh Flores, Mitch Einerston and Eli Iorg, outfielders; relief pitcher Sam Gervacio (if he isn't at AAA). The only ones ranked above C+ by Sickles are Einerston and Norris, even though I have heard good things about Flores, Gervacio, James.

The demand is there as long as the stadium is nice and built in the right area, it would also help if it served beer too. Where will the games be played?

Looks like from some of the names I do recognize...James, Iorg, & Gervacio,that I should get a good chance to get to see some of those guys. JackSparrow: The stadium is in Springdale about a block or two to the south of Hwy 412, its almost a block behind the weigh station in Springdale that is across 540 from Ozark Guidance, Holiday Inn, etc. They will sell beer. HOK designed the ballpark, which is the premier ballpark architects in the country. Its going to be a very nice ballpark...Arvest got the naming rights: Arvest Ballpark. I used to work for them, now work for a competitor...
