Bracketologist's Top 12U Teams To Watch

[hotwheels]

Power Surge picked up a catcher and big bat. Still looking for pitcher to round out their staff. Hit the cover of the ball in their last friendly and run ruled all 3 teams

TNL doesnt have a 12U now. 97s that are still at TNL are playing on the younger of the two 14s.

"Run Ruled"......What is that? It was a friendly wasn't it? Didn't know that friendlies had "Run Rules"....Easy killer!

Where did the key players off of American Athletics Palomino 97- land?

OCB Ray picked up the #1 pitcher, catcher and first base/batter from AA's, plus he picked up another top pitcher/player this week

So who is the OCBB 12U "B" team?

What up Closer. The one who finishes 2nd to the other Aug. of 2010.

I would say that BB-Snow should be the A-Team

not as of right now, not on paper

From what I gather it was on Power Suge 96 last year. LOL

I get your point but even though there is not much peaches and cream everywhere all teams do not blow up either.

I like the first base pick up. Solid hitter.

On paper BB-Snow have a national championship title.

The core of the old Revenge 97 team went to the following teams:

Cal Thunder 97- picked up two players
American pastime- picked up two players
OC Batbusters 98- picked up 98 pitcher

The two 96 players moved up to the Corona Eliminators thus leaving the new team with three returning players.

With the 1st fall tournament starting this weekend, it is time to get some help from follow heybucketers to see if for the third straight year if the 12U & 14U polls can predict who wins ASA Nationals.

PS. If your team did not make this list, have no fear as there is plenty of time before the 1st poll comes out.

RIP - American Athletics Palomino 97. The favorites for 2010 are now dead…..rip

The answers to the below questions will impact my below list and the 1st poll!

Where did the key players off of American Athletics Palomino 97- land?
What happen to the old Revenge 97 key players?
Are both Team Smith 97 & Bomb Squad 97 teams intact?

Below are the 24 teams on my watch list for Fall.

24 Teams

OC Batbusters 97 – Ray - They focus on defense, and defense wins 12u every year.
OC Batbusters 97 – Snow - Another team with a solid defensive foundation
Corona Angels 97 – Lockman - Needed to pick up a pitcher
California Cruisers 97 (OC Wildcats 97) - only if the #1 pitcher returned

Team Anderson (formerly Outlaws?) – Good coach, did key players return?
OC Frenzy – should hit the crap out of the ball if key players returned
PowerSurge 97 – Needed to make some additions to be a top 15 team.
Minors Gold – Good team...
American Pastime – Not sure who was a 96 or 97 last year.
Firecrackers – Ron 97 (is this the old Franchise 97 team?) If yes, I like them - if not move them down!
Valley Tribe – Nationals experience should pay off this year
Victory Campbell 98 – Now with the full attention of coaching staff expect a top 10 finish at Nationals


Need additional information on - could be top 10 teams - depends on who came back
Team Smith 97
BombSquad 97
TNL – did key 97 players move up to 14u.
SoCal Breakers – Heard they picked up the SD Mystic 97 Pitcher

Low end of the radar
American Athletics 98 (did they get any of the 97’s?)
Corona Xpress 97 – New team but had a good turnout at Tryouts. Good coaches.
Cal Thunder 97 – Assuming the 97 pitcher, moved up to 14u.
So Cal Jynx - Garcia - Will benefit from the Jynx name and making this list!
Desperados 98
Firecrackers 98 (old 10u Crunch team?)
Franchise 98
OC Elite 97 - Someone told me to watch this team... so I'm watching.

Few more teams to watch,that you may have not posted!
