If he breaks camp with the organization, this will be his first affiliated shot since 2004.

Jiannetti may be the only one because of his versatility. He played 5 different positions last year and ended the year with a 23 game hit streak.

Jianetti has power, but isn't known for defense. Doesn't LI already have 5 or 6 DH's? Timmons is slated to coach in the Devil Rays organization, Heath has been invited to a Major League camp, Marval is rooted locally but who knows...Delgado was really hurt the way the Surf threw him to the wind (Newark), and really didn't get his full stride back after returning....

Just to clarify, the Ducks only own the Atlantic League rights to these players. There's no telling how many of them Long Island will actually sign. It depends on the team's interest in keeping them and the players' interest in going to New York. The league probably should have held a dispersal draft or allowed these players to become free agents, but that's now how it handles things.

The Surf was a playoff team. Marval, Heath, Leathers and Jianetti are stars in this league. Mark Persails is inconsistent, but can be a very dominant pitcher at times. Grezlovski is a sidearm closer. I thought Delgado was in Newark- he'll hit some long shots. I'll be interested to see the difference in play from the Atlantic League to the Can-Am. That put the Ducks in an unbelievable position.
