Some tough decisions were necessary to get the Michigan roster down to 16.   

Here are some players that did not make Michigan's roster this year and their accomplishments as a Mammoth:

• Nate Jones set the league record last year with an ERA of 0.23.  He also had 8 wins.
• Chris Tillman has 7th place on Michigan's strikeout list with 118 in 2013, but also led the team with losses that year with 12.  He is 5th all time in wins with 21 and is only behind Jered Weaver with 36 losses all time for the Mammoth.
• Paulo Orlando is 5th in Michigan's single season batting with a .316 batting average in 2016 and is 6th in the all time record book with 19 stolen bases
• Billy Burns is 9th with a .312 average in 2015 and is 5th in stolen bases on the all time Mammoth list with 32
• Jeffry Marte had 6 pinch hits last year
• Ryan Dull pitched in 36 games last year

The Mammoths would also like to pay tribute to Yordano Ventura. 

Yordano holds multiple entries in the Mammoths record book, 1st all time in in ERA (3.56),  6th in innings pitched (311), 6th in strikeouts (277) but died after the season in an accident out of the country.
