I won\u2019t cover all 18, and I won\u2019t look at any of the three Dave mentioned, but I will at least bring up a few.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">While there are several prospects and players you probably haven\u2019t heard of in that group of 18, one a lot of people will remember is pitcher Peter Strzelecki. Strzelecki, who was added on a minor league deal with a spring invite earlier this week, pitched for the Crew in 2022 and 2023 before being sent to the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline. He made just one appearance with Arizona that year before making 10 appearances with Cleveland in 2024. He spent 2025 at Triple-A Indianapolis and Durham, the affiliates of Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay, respectively, though with little success (9.41 ERA over 22 innings). We\u2019ll see if he can turn it around in his return to the Crew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Catcher Reese McGuire is another name to watch, though with this week\u2019s addition of Gary S\u00e1nchez, his spot on the major league roster has become less clear. New addition Jett Williams is one of those prospects to watch, and he could compete for an infield\/outfield depth spot, while outfielder Greg Jones has a slim path to the majors, as Milwaukee has several names ahead of him on the depth chart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Who do you think has the best shot at making the team out of spring training?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Weigh in in the comments, and join us throughout the month as we keep these conversations rolling into spring training.
