2016 Debut Thread
 

I will post photos of debuting players, managers, coaches and umpires in this thread as they occur throughout the 2016 season. I generally wait to post player photos until they are listed on Baseball-Reference.com, typically the morning following their debut. I will post manager, coach and umpire photos as soon as I become aware of their debut.

I have un-stuck the 2015 Debut Thread, which you can find here.

Additional 2016 Coach Debuts
 

Major league teams are allowed seven coaches on their active roster. 24 teams use the seventh slot for an assistant hitting coach. The Brewers, Mariners, Padres, Phillies, Rockies and Royals do not employ an assistant hitting coach. The Phillies, Rockies and Royals use the final slot for a catching coach (John McLaren, Rene Lachemann and Pedro Grifol, respectively), the Brewers and Padres simply label the position "coach" (Jason Lane and Eddie Rodriguez) and the Mariners use the spot for a QC coach, Chris Prieto. Lane and Prieto, shown below, have not coached before in the majors and, even though their positions would not traditionally be included in the "official" coach roster, I am leaning toward including them in my coaches database and in the Coaches pack.

2016 Interim Coach
 

Rangers third base coach Tony Beasley is currently undergoing treatment for cancer and the Rangers have named Spike Owen interim third base coach, in the event that Beasley is unable to resume his duties during the regular season. If Beasley returns before the season starts, Owen will return to his minor league position.

These pictures are .jpeg doesn't the game require .png files?

As far as I know (knew?) both image formats are supported. If .jpg is no longer supported I have a lot of conversion work to do! :)

If you don't mind me asking, where do you get these pictures from?

Some from scans, others from Internet sources. I have a somewhat dated list of image source sites on the tnfoto page linked in my signature.

Thank you, that had to have been a tremendous amount of work. I may check this out tonight and try to update my league with real photos vice Face Gen ---- Appreciate the effort of you and fellow gamers!

2016 Coach Debuts (VI)
 

Jose Oquendo is likely to miss the season following knee surgery, leading the Cardinals to make a series of changes in their coaching staff. Derrick May has been called up to the major league staff and will act as assistant hitting coach during Oquendo's absence.
