The Melbourne Aces have revealed their roster for the upcoming season in the Australian Baseball League. The team will be led by infielder Brad Harman, outfielder Justin Huber and pitcher Travis Blackley. All three have had experience in Major League Baseball. Also on the roster are pitchers Bubbie Buzachero, who has played in Austria last year, and South Africa’s Justin Erasmus. 17-year-old lefty Lewis Thorpe of the Minnesota Twins is probably the most anticipated player on the club. The Aces open the 2013/2014 season on the road against defending champion Canberra Cavalry on Thursday, October 31.
