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.

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.

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

The kids wanted to do it.

Early I don't think he (Picket) had all of his stuff and also he didn't get to warm up properly.

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.
