"MDP",
Wow! Everything is wrong with your list. Just say no.
u had a sophomore playing his first time on varsity as one of the top outfielders....lets be serious...even though he may be sick in the future...dont give it to him without earning it...have him start ripping of decent pitchers, then after that...have him face lane and clemente pitchers..i played wit luis a little at hamlin park...he is a beast, now let him prove it for himself, he doesnt need help
"Sick"
Is he eligible? My sources say he is playing when he should not be. If so, that is a shame. When will the parents , coaches, and the player understand that education comes first?

In a Sophomore game played at Kilbourn Park it was Young over Schurz 15-1. Freshman Pedro Rosa was the winning pitcher allowing only 1 hit and 1 unearned Run in 3 Innings pitched (2 K's, 1 BB). The Sophomore Dolphins had their bats going early which gave Rosa lots of run support . Eric Tabb pitched extremely well in relief allowing no hits in 2 innings pitched (3 K's).
First Inning homeruns by Freshmen Dae Bowden (2 RBI) and Frank Gowder gave the Dolphins the early lead. In the 2nd Inning Gabe Henriques hit a 2 RBI Homerun and in the 3rd Inning Valmar Jordan crushed a ball for 2 RBI's that was hit over the center field fence. Valmar went 2 for 3 also hitting a Double; Gowder 2 for 3 with a Homerun and a Double. Henriques was 3 for 3 at the plate, in addition to his Homerun he hit a Double and a Single for a total of 5 RBI's.
The Sophomore Dolphins are undefeated in CPS League play.

I think Shaw from Harlan is better than Ralphy the guy hit .467 last year is a fine defensive player. Can't argue with the numbers, ask about him. Ralphy is good, Josh Colon is good, Pouncil from Simeon is good, Shaw is just a little bit better.
played shaw today...lane 7 harlan 4, in 9 innings....well fought game, lane should stacked on runs earlier...and harlan hit into a DP wit the bases loaded in the 8th...saw shaw, big, quick player and a great arm... but .467 last year? how many decent suburban teams did harlan face, doubt to many.
Garcia hit 483 last year with 5 long balls

You know wat,your right u cant argue with numbers.Garcia hit 483, that looks a little better than 467.
Wildcats --- didn't I suggest that you stay off of this topic 
---- you both are good players!!!
Did you guys play Saturday??
---- you both are good players!!!Did you guys play Saturday??
Whoa boys! Enough with the self promotion. Play your game and let others decide.
without a doubt marvin and ralphy are the best middle infielders in the city
Thanks, rosy, for that dose of wisdom. I have high regard for your posts.
Ok kids, play the game and please don't trash talk people who are working hard to keep their eligibility. It can be difficult for some...for others it comes a little easier. I believe that everything balances out in the end, in some way.
"Sick"...My friend keep your nose to the ball and use the internet carefully and with respect to the situations that other people are in. Luis Diaz has been proving himself for many years against pitchers all over this city, it's suburbs and this country. He might be the best natural hitter this city has seen for some time. If he had been able to play his freshman year as a varsity player, which he would have, his name would have been very familiar to most of you.
His name is already familiar to many coaches and players in the suburbs and the city throughout the summer travel leagues.
These coaches and players have learned that you have to be very careful when pitching to this young man. He is a beast if there ever was one.
If you must throw up internet challenges, do this, challenge yourself to keep to what is known...not what is rumoured. Im sure Luis is working very hard. I know through my..as they were called here..."sources" that he has been disciplined appropriately, week to week. This may be a saving grace for the teams that were fortunate enough to not have to face him.
And one other note. While it is fun to fantasize about all star teams..."best of" selections. Great teams are made of much more than a stack of top shelf players. I've seen many teams that have incredible success with a variety of caliber of athlete. There are many intangibles involved in what makes a great team. The best teams play at a level higher than their actual skill level because they compliment each other and learn to really play as unit. there are many factors that create this scenario.
Anyhow,I have been around this game for many years in this city and it's suburbs, I read this board everyday. I have never posted until now. I posted because Im finding that some of the content in this thread is a bit disturbing, in that, there are very personal comments and speculations being made here and I find it to be very irresponsible and low spirited. Stick to the game and let the chips fall where they may. Leave the personal stuff for the parents, teachers, coaches...etc.
Lots of great talent in the city right now. It's fun to watch all these guys, all over town, that I've watched for years, bring it to the high school level. Basketball has always been strong in the city...it's a natural in some sense. All you need is a ball to get a game. Baseball is a much more complicated thing in terms of organization, coaching the various skills, equipment expenses, umps, etc. on and on. If the city could get it together and somehow step up the game...we would be regular visitors to the state tourney.
I find, sometimes, on this board that there are some very smug comments being made about inner city ball. It comes down to this...money and finding coaches who'll stick to it...other stuff to but way to complex to get into here.
Same old I guess? The suburban teams and schools have access to many more resources than we city dogs do and I dont always understand why some of these comments have this smug, sarcastic tone to them...makes me wonder.
Have fun folks and players. Enjoy these four years if you have made your high school team...these will be some of your best memories, seriously.

The WYHS varsity squad has been going through some tough times, but perhaps things will get better now that Sophomore Sam Spitz returns to the varsity squad.
Spitz made his 2006 debut pitching today for the WYHS Sophomore Dolphins against Grayslake High School and getting the Win. Spitz plays in the offseason for Hamlin Park. Last year he was on the 15-U Hamlin Park team that captured the AAU Division 2 National and was the runner-up at the 15-U CABA National Championship. His arm seems to be in good shape as he pitched in the first game of a doubleheader, returning after a long and debilitating illness. Spitz pitched a near perfect game allowing only 2 Hits and going the distance to get the Win.
The line for Spitz was 7 Innings Pitched; 1 Run on 2 Hits; 4 BB, 5-K's and 3-E's. The Sophomore Dolphins were a bit casual on defense at times, but quickly made up for it with several impressive plays; two double plays were recorded in the game.
In the 2nd Inning Spitz made two outstanding back to back plays to end the inning and a scoring threat by Grayslake. The first was an alert Double Play that was initiated by Spitz; 1-6-3 (Spitz-Gowder-Ormond). The next batter hit a ball that came back at Spitz sharply, who dove to make the stop and then make the throw to Ormond at First base to end the inning. In the first inning it was a 6-4-3 Double Play, that was initiated by Gabe Henreques which ended the inning (Henreques-Cinamon-Ormond). Buddy Herberg played a great defensive game behind the plate.
At the plate Jack Cinamon continued his hot hitting, going 2 for 3, with two singles and 1 RBI; Pedro Rosa - 2 singles and 1 RBI; Frank Gowder - Double and a Single and 1-RBI. Also with hits were Devyn Cullers and Jason Ormond who each had singles.
The final score was the Dolphins 11-1 over Grayslake in Game 1.
In Game 2 Frank Gowder got the start and the Win. The first two innings were a bit rocky for the Dolphins, but once things settled down the Dolphins got on track. There was no stopping the Sophomore Dolphins who are undefeated in the CPS League and continued with their winning ways, winning their 16th straight game.
Gowder pitched 6 innings, allowing 5 Runs on 9 Hits. The defense was sloppy at times, but the Dolphins made the plays to get out of the jambs. Gowder walked 3 batters and had one strikeout. Pedro Rosa got the Save recording 2-K's in the final inning.
Sophomore Phil Garner was 3 for 3 at the plate with 2-RBI's. Jason Ormond was 3 for 4 at the plate, with 2 Singles and a Double for 2-RBI's and Frank Gowder was 2 for 4 with a Double and a Single for 2-RBI's. Vernon Jordan and Dae Bowden (1-RBI) each had Singles.
The final score in Game 2 was Young over Grayslake 9-5.

Mark,
Hamlin didn't win the CABA World Series. They lost to East Cobb Astros. They did however win the AAU Division 2 National.

Thanks for the correction.
Everyone at this game was impressed with Spitz' velocity, control and poise. It was evident that having a strong catcher (Buddy Herberg) and infield behind him (Gowder-3B, Henreques-SS, Cinamon-2B and Ormond-1B) gave Spitz confidence throughout the game.
