Offensively the first game we just crushed the ball.

I don't want anyone to get hurt. We had a really successful Legion program last year - it's already a long season.

He came into his own last year as a second baseman. He had a problem with his rotator cup because the amount of plays and the amount of throws that he makes.

I would like him to play. Mike would be an asset to the team no doubt. He really came into his hitting last year and it would be nice to have him at the 3, 4, or 5 hole.

We have some kids who want to use this high school season and the Legion baseball as a springboard for college. I think high school baseball will afford colleges to recruit during the school year.

Dan really came into his own pitching last year (during Legion play). He received the sportsmanship award during the regional tournament.

This will make us more competitive for Legion. Hopefully it (club season) will take off and more kids will want to play. I think it will put the hook into the younger kids.

It takes about six to eight weeks of physical conditioning before a player can really throw hard for a seven-inning duration where the pitcher is throwing 70 to 100 pitches hard.

When he is not pitching he can play anywhere. He is really invaluable to this team not only is he the No. 1 pitcher he is just a utility player that can play anywhere else.
