April 3, 2015

AUGUSTA, GA - The Augusta GreenJackets, in conjunction with the 2014 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants, are proud to announce their 2015 roster. Many faces familiar to the CSRA will be making the flight back east, with a former UGA Outfielder and 10 previous GreenJackets headed back to Augusta.

The GreenJackets also announced an open-to-the-public team practice "A Major Buzztastic Time at the Lake" will take place on Wednesday, April 8th at Lake Olmstead Stadium from 6 PM to 8 PM. Manager Nestor Rojas' team will take the field for the first time, with a limited concession menu available for purchase and $2 16 oz draft beers.

"We are excited to welcome a talented crew of future San Francisco Giants to Augusta," said GreenJackets General Manager Tom Denlinger. "We invite the CSRA to come out and enjoy the first practice with us on Wednesday and kick off the exciting 2015 season!"

Former University of Georgia Outfielder Hunter Cole will be making the trip up Interstate 20 to join the GreenJackets. Last season, Hunter split time with the Salem-Keiser Volcanoes (Short Season A, Northwest League) and the Arizona Fall League Giants. In 101 total plate appearances, Hunter hit .257 with four home runs and six doubles.

The Giants' 2014 2nd and 6th draft picks are headed to the Garden City, as Catcher Aramis Garcia (2nd) and 1B Skyler Ewing (6th) have been assigned to the GreenJackets. Along with Hunter Cole, both Aramis and Skyler split their time with Salem-Kaiser and the Arizona Fall League Giants last season. Aramis finished 2014 hitting .225 with 15 RBI in 102 plate appearances. Skyler ended with the year with a .282 batting average, with 9 home runs and 39 RBI in 220 plate appearances.
