The wait has gone from 7 months to 7 days

until Opening Day at Dodd. My main focus now is the look of the roster that takes the field next Thursday. Reading skipper Dave Mac's weekly New London Day blog offers a few hints. Guys like Tim Hutting, Randy Walter, James Garcia and Matt Palmer and others provide a link to the Navigator past. In fact a lot of "old" Navigators might populate the roster. Not a lot of clues as to the pitching staff. Mac is raving about newcomer pitcher Jonathan Sanchez however (Opening Day pitcher?). There will be an open practice Wednesday to meet the team; I have to work and will miss it.
