CaCO-
That's one thing I hate about travel ball. ANYONE can put together a team and instantly someone's kid is hot stuff cause he is on a travel club. Its almost like false hope.
Big JV roster.
We did 18 with 7 freshman but one of those plays with the middle school team. Varsity is 17 players but a handful of the JV guys are double rostered. With only two games in the books for JV we have a small sample to go off of. But rumor has that our JV doesn't like to start Fresh. T got the start on game 2 and 'should" get game 3 behind the plate. Game two saw a fresh DH for my son (0-4 with two looking strike outs). Another fresh got into the game at SS after we had a 10 lead. Another fresh started at third who has a strong arm but struggles with fielding it cleanly. Big kid and is a cage monster but struggles mightily to put the ball into play. So game two saw some freshman action. Wasn't a strong team. We will see how it plays out when we face better teams.
T was almost sad himself during cuts when kids he calls friends were cut. He is realistic but a few he said were pitching or playing good in his opinion.
