Five Former Crimson Tide Baseball Players on MLB Opening Day Rosters

[pmull]

Five former University of Alabama baseball players will be on Major League Baseball opening day rosters as the season gets underway on Monday. Former Crimson Tide standouts Alex Avila (Detroit Tigers), Josh Rutledge (Colorado Rockies), David Robertson (New York Yankees), Tommy Hunter (Baltimore Orioles) and Wade LeBlanc (Miami Marlins) will open the 2013 MLB season on the 25-man rosters for their respective clubs.

Avila and Rutledge both are everyday starters. Hunter and LaBlanc are starting pitchers. Robertson is a middle reliever/set up man. All five play key roles for their team.

Rutledge came on like gangbusters last year. Sure would like to see him continue his great play this year. He would look good as an all-star.

Alex Avila looked pretty good as the starting catcher for Detroit in the World Series last year.

I noticed the Yankees have a relief pitcher from Birmingham that went to UNC, Adam Warren. He pitched briefly in relief for them last night.
