Chad Wallach is off to a good start with his new team the Greensboro Grasshoppers, the Class A Affiliate of the Miami Marlins. His two run homer on April 9 was the game winner in a 2-1 win over the Lakewood Blueclaws.
Chad is the only one of the three Wallach kids to play so far this season. The oldest Matt, has allegedly moved on to new endevors after spending a good chunk of last season with the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes. Last I heard Brett was still recovering from Tommy John surgery, but may still pop up somewhere this season (not a lot news to found out there).
This blog will be pulling for Chad to move up the Marlins ranks and make it to the majors and into the Topps base set (I won't be collecting all of his cards). Here's a look at the catchers in the Marlins Organization presently, and something I plan to update as changes occur this season. I have no idea how aware minor leaguers are as to the stats of the guys just ahead of (or behind) them in the system, but if it were me, I would have daily results of both taped in my locker.
