2013 Season Preview: Pensacola Blue Wahoos
Manager: Delino DeShields
Pitching Coach: Tom Brown
Hitting Coach: Dick Schofield
This team has a lot of intriguing guys on the roster. Some who are looking to build upon what they did in 2012 and some who are looking to rebound from 2012. The Blue Wahoos have 13 of my Top 40 Prospects on their roster.

The starting rotation already took a hit and the season hasn...
Dayton, Pensacola and Louisville name managers and coaches
Today several of the Reds affiliates named several coaches. All were with the organization last year, but have moved up the ladder. The new manger of the Dayton Dragons will be Jose Nieves, who managed the Arizona League Reds last season. Tony Fossas will be his pitching coach. The Dragons hitting coach will be named later.
In Pensacola, Delino DeShields will be the manager. His...
Q&A: Delino DeShields, Jr., Stealing 101
Delino DeShields, Jr. was clearly overshadowed this season. The 20-year-old Houston Astros prospect stole 101 bases, but thanks to Billy Hamilton‘s record-setting 155, his own thievery went largely unnoticed. Despite the relative lack of attention, DeShields may ultimately prove to be the better player.
Taken eighth overall in the 2010 draft, the right-handed-hitting second baseman...
FanGraphs Prospect Stock Watch – 06/26/2012
Delino DeShields Jr., 2B, Houston Astros
Current Level: A
2012 Top 15 Prospects Ranking: 8th
Current Value: Increasing
When it comes to prospects and stolen bases, Cincinnati’s Billy Hamilton gets all the love. However, former first rounder DeShields has been quietly having a nice year in low-A ball. The 19-year-old second baseman is repeating the level (130 wRC+) after struggling...
First-rounders Springer, DeShields form bond
George Springer and Delino DeShields Jr., the Astros' two most recent first-round picks, have formed a bond during the early days of their first Major League camp. They are roommates this spring and have adjoining lockers in the clubhouse.
Delino DeShields Jr. Resembles Dad… Sort Of
On the tail end of my scouting trip to Savannah, having an opportunity to see the Lexington Legends was well worth extending my stay considering the potential to scout three of the Houston Astros first round picks in second baseman Delino DeShields Jr., third baseman Mike Kvasnicka and pitcher Mike Foltynewicz. And while “Folty” was not in the cards, the two first rounders, power...
Catching Up on MINOR Details: Dayton
If one were to pick which minor league team of the Reds had the best 2011, it would have to be the Single-A affiliate Dayton Dragons. Under manager Delino DeShields (and I love that he's their manager and I don't know why), they finished 83-57, good enough to finish first and win their third division title, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the playoffs.
They could...
