Spring training recap

With opening day in 2 days, Spring training is wrapping up and everyone is getting ready to start the season. So, Lets recap what Somerset had done in training this year. The Pats have played 3 practice games with other Atlantic league teams with the team looking good in all games. Somerset has not signed back most players from last year's epic run to the championship as we have lost names like Jake Fox, Aldridge, E-mart, Bobby Stevens, and Yunesky Sanchez, but....We still have some great last year players like Corey smith, Aharon Eggleston, Luis montanez, and my favorite JONNY TUCKER and some more. Also, Somerset has signed some great new faces to the team like Scott Kelly, Damaso Espino, Nate Spears and more. But lets focus on the team its self no, Manager Brett Jodie has been running drills and scrimmages for the team to find their strength and weaknesses to work on for 2014. Here is what Jodie said on Day 8 of training as they scrimmaged against the Riversharks, "They showed alot of patience at the plate and we got on base alot from some big key hits which lead to some runs as the pitchers pounded the zone as we didn't walk a batter all game and some great strikeouts as we played great today." Thats what we want to hear!  If Somerset can keep on getting great key hits and the pitchers keep giving great outings I think Somerset can be a championship contending team for 2014.
