You left out Theo Epstein (GM of the Red Sox) and Larry Rothschild (the Cubs' pitching coach). <BR/><BR/>And technically Whitesell didn't make the opening day 40-man roster. But he'll be going up North at some point. <BR/><BR/>Jason Hirsh may also get called up during the season.<BR/><BR/>In addition, you'll want to keep an eye out for Aaron Poreda, Sam Fuld, and Brian Horwitz.Josh Borensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418664151302692734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314573657001218578.post-38297414899859606762009-04-05T21:44:00.000-07:002009-04-05T21:44:00.000-07:00Hi, is this list of 2009 Jewish Major Leaguers cor...Hi, is this list of 2009 Jewish Major Leaguers correct?<BR/><BR/>Brad Ausmus - Dodgers - C<BR/>Kevin Youkilis - Red Sox - 1B<BR/>Josh Whitesell - Diamondbacks - 1B<BR/>Ian Kinsler - Rangers - 2B<BR/>Ryan Braun - Brewers - OF<BR/>Gabe Kapler - Rays - OF<BR/>Scott Feldman - Rangers - P<BR/>Craig Breslow - Twins - P<BR/>Scott Schoeneweis - D'backs - P<BR/>Jason Marquis - Rockies - P<BR/>John Grabow - Pirates - RP<BR/><BR/>Bob Melvin - Diamondbacks - MGR<BR/>Reuben Amaro, Jr. - Phillies - GM<BR/>Steve Stone - White Sox - BroadcasterJoel Kirsteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314573657001218578.post-48197829506660014342009-04-05T11:46:00.000-07:002009-04-05T11:46:00.000-07:00I just checked.

It looks like when he was going good he only walked batters about 1/3 of the time.Josh Borensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418664151302692734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314573657001218578.post-69187417329474596022009-04-05T06:01:00.000-07:002009-04-05T06:01:00.000-07:00Koplove's walk rate seems high.
