Squirrels Announce Extensions for 2011

The Springfield Flying Squirrels of Republic are happy to announce their three extensions for the upcoming season.


Adrian Beltre earned an extension hitting .321 with 28HR and 102RBI. The Squirrels' 2011 success will likely go the way Beltre goes and GM Adam Anson will look for another big year from his slugging 3B.











Martin Prado came into his own in his first year as a starter. Prado suffered two injuries during the 2010 season and still posted some of the best numbers amongst 2B in the majors hitting .307 with 15HR, 66RBI, 100Runs and 5SB. Prado will be a big part of the Squirrels offense in 2011.







In somewhat of a surprise move, GM Adam Anson awarded an extension to closer Carlos Marmol. Marmol was one of the most valuable RPers in all of eMLB this year posting 38 saves, 2.55ERA, 1.18WHIP and a ridiculous 138K's in only 77 2/3 IP.



Others considered for extension included Jaime Garcia, Daniel Hudson, and Ryan Dempster.
