12U SoCal Preseason Thoughts

[PDad]

Batbusters Ray ,Valley Tribe & American Pastime should all be good teams. I heard Palomino is now BB-Ray????? I believe all 3 of thease teams have 5 or more returning players.

I heard the same thing yesterday about OCBB Ray, also picked up another solid pitcher from AAs maybe. OCBB Ray surprised many of us when they stepped it up and came out with that occasional upset, so additing a few key players is going to maybe give them some consistency, they have good athletes and talent already and were playing really well the end of the season.

What about Minors Gold 97 and OC Wildcats 97, I thought they were both pretty solid as well..?

They're now CA Cruisers 97 (nee OC Wildcats 97)...

OCwildcatMom - Didn't the 95 and 96 teams join Cruisers as well? Are there any OC Wildcat teams left?

AA's Palomino 97 - Rest in Peace...lol

The team lived a great life and the girl, parents, and coaches had a wild, but wonderful ride.

The reality is the three pitchers (all#1's in my book) will end up on 3 different teams. BB-Ray is a great spot for a few of the girls (This will be a VERY strong team). Another team (to be named later) will pick up 3 or so (and be VERY strong), and the AA's will field a 12u team that will most likely be a mixed 97/98.

Remember, at this time of year, anything can happen.

My bad, I forgot about the switch from Wildcats to Cruisers... I would think the Cal Cruisers Org will attract some good players..

[Carl Spackler]

OC Snow released & reshuffled and has to replace his 96's too
OC Ray regrouped after a few departures and took AA's top players
Corona Lockman has to replace his 96's including pitcher
AA's= Audios Amigos to the top ten
Powersurge 97 could draw players from 96's success and area.
USA Athletics must totally reload/regroup
Cerritos Franchise 97 will be strong
Valley Tribe always in the mix
Pastime will be there
Cal Thunder, Minors, Nemesis and new Jynx- Cant wait to see what their new faces look like.
Can't wait to see first friendlies....

What about the younger '98 teams? Victory will be rght there, and what about OCBB '98? Any others? Firecrackers?

Personally I think that the 97 players are much stronger than the 98's I also think that the 99's are a strong group too

I'll put my money on the 03's. They will dominate!

[CharlieHough]

is Dani an 03? monster player!

I'll go with the '01 Knuckleknockers. They're a bit young but they play dirty and use altered bats.
