Former Durham Bulls in the Playoffs

At least 13 former Durham Bulls are on the rosters of this year's playoff teams. Two of them are on the 60-day disabled list, so unlikely that we will see them in action. It's a bit of a commentary on the Rays that three of them (Gimenez, Navarro, and Lobaton) are catchers.

Congrats to them all. Good luck to them all.

Update:

We missed two former Bulls, but thanks to the Hit Bull Win Blog, we stand corrected.
  • Mike Montgomery, now with the Cubs, was a Bull back in 2013 and 2014.
  • Adam Liberatore, now with the LA Dodgers, was a Bull in 2012 thru 2014. He won't be pitching this post-season since he's out for elbow surgery.

Lots of interesting trivia at HBWB.
