When's Bracky rolling out the preseason rankings? We need some material to start some crap on this board.
Softbal1234, you think you'll break the top 30 this year in Bracky's poll?

Other than that I agree on BB Briggs and BB 98 pitcher...very good showing.
Lets not forget the catchers, so under appreciated for their work in their gear under horrific heat ...they did a great job too.( No my DD is not a catcher)

See, there you go again overreacting and putting words in my mouth. I specifically said they were probably good pitchers. I did not dismiss their hard work nor their achievements. But, there is a difference between being a good pitcher for your age and being classified as one of the best.
Pitchers that can go most games with no or 1 run given up. Pitchers that pitch consistently throughout the whole week, including still being able to get it done on Sunday, these are the things I would use to classify someone as the best in their age group.
