FD,
Did C.Williams ever hook up with you and the Pirates this summer? Haven't heard a word from him.

Doc,

Did he reinjure his arm this year at Lamar? I noticed he pitched early on, but his stats never changed after the first couple of weeks. I'm assuming we're talking about the same kid. I would love to see him get another chance at baseball. He's a nice kid!

Not bad for a guy that pitched at Cedar Valley College in 2005, Central Arkansas in 2006,

A very important point............

They were deep in pitching and I heard a rumor he might have a nagging injury...I thought he was gonna pitch through it during the summer. Maybe he went ahead and had the problem addressed. Thanks anyway for opening the door. Sometimes they won't walk through it.

No he did not. Would have been nice to have him in our stable of 90 mph guys! He is welcome to come out next year!

The Pirates season ended tonight with a thrilling 11 loss to the Dallas Buffalo. I want to thank the guys that I coached this summer and wish them the best of luck as they head back to college. We won the regular season title but unfortunately when 2 and out in the postseason tournament.

Here is a list of the guys that played for us this summer with their HS/Hometown, where they played in 2006 and where they are playing in 2007.

Brandon Foster/Henderson/Weatherford JC/U. of North Alabama
Jimmy Struebel/Eastern Hills/North Lake/Lamar University
Brant Waldrep/Mansfield/Eastfield/Eastfield
Jeff Jamnik/Martin/Incarnate Word U./Incarnate Word U.

We'll be looking for some more players for next year. I anticipate pretty high turnover. Good wood bat summer league with good competition. Team we lost to tonight had several former professional baseball players including the starting pitcher who made a brief appearance in the bigs with Philadelphia. Oh and he threw a complete game...11 innings...166 pitches...OUCH!!!

funneldrill -- sounds like you took good care of a few of DBAT Coach's guys this summer. Congratulations on your team's success.

Art, congratulations on a great Pirate season. You, Duane and the team really did a great job. Good luck next season at Summit.

Any work on Toby Simler for next season , I was told he may be out?

Toby played with the Mustangs for a couple of weeks this summer and then his arm started hurting again, so he shut it down. Hopefully rest will take care of it.

I talked to Toby's brother (he caught for me when I coached at FW Nolan) on Wednesday and he told me that Toby is going to therapy and should not need surgery.

I am hoping that it is not serious because I have big plans for him.
