Minor leaguers update ...

We haven't checked in with the area's three minor league baseball players in a while, so let's take a look at how they are doing in the early season.

Shawn Roof (St. Mary) has split time between Class A Lakeland and Class AA Erie in the Detroit Tigers organization. Roof has hit .250 in 52 at-bats and has stolen four bases in five attempts.

Mike Broadway (Pope County) is struggling in relief at Myrtle Beach, the Atlanta Braves' High-A affiliate. Broadway is 0-2 with a 5.63 ERA and has allowed 17 hits in 16 innings with 10 walks and 12 strikeouts.

Brandon Braboy (Heath) is off to a good start at Charleston, S.C., pitching for the New York Yankees' Low-A ballclub. Braboy has been used out of the bullpen, going 1-0 with a 3.94 ERA in 16 innings. He's allowed 14 hits and has a very impressive 19-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
