Minor League Baseball's Opening Day: Top Prospects, New Rules

On April 2, Minor League Baseball's full season leagues are firing up right now, with almost

every circuit getting games today and wrapping up by Friday.

The AA Eastern League kicks off tonight at 6 p.m. Eastern with the Harrisburg Senators

facing the Outune curve and action roles non-stop.

Through a single-A California League match-up between the San Jose Giants and Stockton

Port at 10-5 p.m. Eastern, high-A Northwest and AA Southern League join in on Friday,

while triple-A's international and Pacific Coast leagues have enrolling since last week.

Top prospects are headlining these openers, including two of MLB's overall top 10.

18-year-old Jessus Maid, the brewers number 1, and MLB's number 3, takes the Hill Friday

for Baluxi against Rocket City in the Southern, League.

19-year-old Leo Dave Rees, Athletics Top Guy in MLB's number 4, starts tonight for Midland

versus Arkansas in the Texas League.

Out of the top 100 prospects, 20 made big league rosters and 29 open-net triple-A last

week.

The rest scatter across single-A and double-A, like the Dodgers-A's Asu Wii DiPala leading

double-A Tulsa tonight against San Antonio or Nationals.

Number 1 draft pick, Eli Willitz, headlining single-A Fredericksburg on Friday.

This season brings fresh experimental rules to the minors, rolled out at different levels
