Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...

Here's what the Riversharks lineup looked like on Opening Day this season.


Shortstop Melvin Dorta and pitcher Chris Mason are now playing for the Road Warriors. First baseman Mike Lamb and centerfielder Drew Macias have both been picked up by MLB clubs. Third baseman Andy Jenkins and rightfielder Jamar Hill were released in May and June, respectively.

The Long Island Ducks lineup, however, has changed very little. Right fielder Josh Peterson retired in early May, and pitcher Lenny DiNardo's contract was purchased by the Oakland Athletics.
