Power Surge 96 looked tough last season I like them to show strong.
Jynx Should be a contender for 12U top honors
Firecrackers 96 Obviously have the good stuff.

Heck--- I'm w/ Arto on this one it is way to early to tell. To much team jumping and fall outs to judge. Besides in 12U it is all about who shows up on that day from my experience. I will answer next summer.

most of the good 96's from last year have been mentioned. I would add Rebels to the list. There are a few new teams this year. Also agree that it's very early. There will be some moving around. I hear crackers have 16 players and I'm sure they will all be happy .

Team smith Red...OC Batbusters JM...PS 96...The BB have half a team to replace, but the name draws talent.

[Clean_up]

CA'96, Rebels, Firecrackers, BB'96, PS'96 and Jynx have the greatest expectations to dominate, but let's not forget some of the stronger '97 teams that should have a good showing: American Athletics-Palomino, CA'97 and both younger BB teams. Team Smith/BB picked up 3 '96s and will be well coached.

OC Wildcats, Irvine Sting, Nemesis might rebound as well...

I can tell you that CA'96 currently has 10 returners and picked up two impact players, but they are barely holding their first practice this Saturday and are in no hurry - nothing matters until MAY 2009....

OC Batbusters have 3 teams, Angels have two teams '96 being the older obviously. Not sure if PowerSurge is forming a younger 12's or not. So Cal Crunch and Raiders might come out strong as well.... So that gives you 16 teams to work with I guess...

The Classic Mojito

Here's what you need:

Fresh mint leaves (a lot!)
Bitters
Limes, quartered
Ice
White/light rum
Guarapo (sugar cane juice)
Club Soda

Here's how you mix it:

Muddle 5-6 mint leaves, 3 drops bitters, and 3 lime quarters in the bottom of a tall mojito glass.

Fill the glass to the top with ice.

Add 2 ounces light rum.

Fill the remainder of mojito glass with guarapo, leaving ½" at top of glass. Top off with club soda.

Cover the glass and shake vigorously for 4-5 seconds. Serve with straw. Garnish with lime wedge and sugarcane stick.

Best enjoyed poolside, in August, with friends.

Crunch will absolutely be in the top 10, possibly top 5.....I watched them play last weekend at Prime Time and they looked very, very good in beating one of the better So Cal teams...Granted, first friendly out of the gates for everyone but it was the same for everybody and they did look very good....3 very good pitchers and big hitters up and down the line up....Solid defense......Wes, Corona Xpress 16U
