This is the time of the year where it's first come first serve. Every team in every summer collegiate league is looking for that next big star and recruiting starts the day after the season ends. Needless to say we were very disappointed we missed the playoffs by one game last year and we look to build another competitive team.
Some general managers participate in the recruiting process and some do not. Fortunately enough, Buddy Bengel our owner and our manager have a lot of connections and they take pride in putting the 2012 roster together. They both have been constantly on the phone talking to coaches and trying to put the best team on the field for next year. It's certainly a long process and a very difficult one. Some guys work out better than others but that's the nature of the business. Trying to find 27 guys that all buy into the program is the most difficult. The organization that recruits this kind of team usually wins 9 out of 10 times. Talent plays a role, but signing players that want nothing else but to perform well and will do everything in their power to succeed is what we're looking for. *Throwing 92-94 mph with run does help though*
