Great news.  Hope he continues to do well in the minors and advances every season.  Somewhat surprised he was never moved to play catcher, but as long as he keeps hitting they'll find a spot for him.

Judging from their roster, it looks like they have another former USF Bull, Brian Baisley.  Instead of being the Baby Bombers, they should be the Bomber Bulls.

I wish he would have come back for us next season.  But, I definitely understand why he isn't!!!  I hope he kills it in the minors and gets traded to the Rays down the road.  I can dream, right?

[JoeB]

Yeah, would have been nice to get his stick back in the lineup and put him over at 3B, with Sam Mende coming in and probably playing SS.  Hopefully these youngsters all can hit.  Definitely need more pop and produce more runs for our pitching staff.  I think they'll be pretty good though.

I noticed that the Boise Sky Hawks have Yuri Higgins on their roster along with Josh Harrison (the Bearcat that killed us in the Big East Tourney).  Hope he doesn't give Yuri too hard a time.
