WSLL 2008 Season

[GotPop]

:) This is the last weekend to sign up for WSLL. Next few weeks should be exciting. There will be new managers (Thank you for volunteering). There are quite a few kids moving up (Good talent) and most likely a new expansion team from new players coming into the league. Try outs are in March and kids will get on a team and meet some new friends.
Does anyone have a clue on what the new team will be named?

Sign Up
Date: Saturday February 16, 2008

That's a good idea. They should have never gotten rid of that team name.

Does any one know who got what team?

How does Combs get a team?

[GotPop]

How does Combs get a team?

:) Probably becuase he stepped up.

[BlueFan82]

:) Probably becuase he stepped up.

Exactly why. Last time I checked, his minor league teams have been in
the city championship games 3 of the last four years, winning the whole
thing one of those seasons. Pretty good track record if you ask me.

[Fielders Choice]

How does Combs get a team?

How does he not get a team? He is very deserving of having a team.
Like GotPop said, He stepped up when nobody else would.

[AmericaOne]

Is that Gary or Greg Combs?

[Mobster's ball]

Neither, It's Chris

[Baseball Freak]

Exactly why. Last time I checked, his minor league teams have been in

I can recall hearing some one say he had a very good allstar team and lost to a team that the 10's beat over in a tournment last year.

[Fielders Choice]

Get over it already. Why didn't you go for a team?

[GotPop]

He doesn't have THE all star team. He has the Yankees.:blush:

[Baseball Freak]

I am over it, and why I didn't go for a team is that I am not in the little click over there and if I was asked I sure would have taken one.

TRN1 what minor league teams did they drop and is minor league down that bad.

[leojames]

With all due respect and as I recall it, other than in T-ball you generally dont get "asked" to take a team. You approach those who are empowered( that would likely be the LL director, or more generally, the board) and advise them of your interest in managing a team. They would then make the decision as to who may be the best fit and for what team. I am sure there may be exceptions, but I think that is how it works in most years. Seems a little immature to pound your fists now and say I wasn't asked. Opportunities are always abound. Now, sadly, the world will never know.

[BlueFan82]

He doesn't have an all star team. He has the Yankees.:blush:

Now Wait just a doggone minute!! :soapbox:

Just kidding :)

[GotPop]

Now Wait just a doggone minute!! :soapbox:

Just kidding :)

:D My bad, I should have clarified they do definitely have all stars on the team.:laugh:

[BlueFan82]

I can recall hearing some one say he had a very good allstar team and lost to a team that the 10's beat over in a tournment last year.

I'm not re-hashing All-Stars from 2 years ago. Let it go. I am excited about the Yankees new coach, and I'm sure you're excited for the prospects of the team you follow. It should be a fun season over at West Side and I look forward to the season starting.

I also have to agree with the point above. The board made no secret that we were looking for coaches. The men who stepped forward and accepted the challenge should be commended and praised, not criticized.

[BlueFan82]

:D My bad, I should have clarified they do definitely have all stars on the team.:laugh:

No, I wasn't saying anything about the number of All-Stars. :)

The way the statement was phrased sounded like the Yankees
were a bad team which I know you didn't intend to make it sound that way.....it just sounded a little funny, and I thought I would make fun of it.
:stirthepot:

[TRN1]

Minor League is down one team - I do believe the Braves were dropped

we are still taking signups for any kid that missed them

tryout are march 1st teams will be picked march 2nd and all we have to do is wait for the weather to clear


please do not get into managers on the west side - lets move on hey did you know last year WSLL went to the World Series -yes

[GotPop]

Wow, That was a fun team to watch play. :)

[Fielders Choice]

Who was the coaches of that team? Coomer and what's that other guys name?

[bambam30]

Would the White Sox get several picks ahead of the rest to play catch up?

[Fielders Choice]

Would the White Sox get several picks ahead of the rest to play catch up?

Only on 12 year olds.

[bpdawg32]

[GCPRO]

Have to come out of the basement for a minute.

I hear Mel Kiper will be in town to attend the WSLL combine on Saturday at HHS. They have his draft projections on the WSLL website. I was curious as to what 10 year old could throw up the most reps on the 35 lb. bench press and I understand a couple kids have really good 40 times. Have many kids been to any of the training academys to make sure they get into the first round, that is where the big money is. I understand David Pollack was training a few WSLL minor leaguers at some training facility in Mason, helping them to improve their draft status. I was wondring if a kid got drafted by a team he didn't like, could he refuse to play for that team and demand a trade to another-ala Eli Manning. It worked quite well for him.

Wow GC you come out both barrels blazing! :eek: But it sound like you've been tipped off to little blue football training secrets. I think WSLLeaguers are hanging out at Champions (HEAT), SWOBAT(Flames), Monins barn(DONATIONS), Ohio Heat FF complex(Professionals), Hamilton AUX gym(coach favors), and Lauer’s move it or lose it boot camp on Sundays. New stars are in the making and up & coming.:cool: Fun season ahead.:D

Who said Monnin's barn was a freebie? I heard one team was chipping in some cash to help pay for the heat which cost a fortune these days. Rest of the money is being donated.

1. It was a joke.
2.It is free for the kids.

[GCPRO]

MY little son is way behind then. He has had no training. Better get him to some of these facilities. And quick! WOW! First pitch is only 6 weeks away. Who pays for the rentals for these places? Parents just pitch in or what? WOW! He is way behind, I really was unaware it was so widespread. I was just trying to stoke the fire a little and I knew of a couple kids were working out with their repsective teams but was unaware it was that widespread.

[GotPop]

Shame on you. If he's going to be a D1 pick, or in the majors some day, you need to keep up.

You need to get him over to the Heat facility. He can get some quality professional instruction there. Professional instruction will get hit caught up quicker than regular instruction. Plus, as an added bonus, you and A-1 can exchange pleasantries.

[GCPRO]

Now leo, you had to go and get my great buddy the A1 involved in our wsll thread. Remember, I was trying to play nice today, but the gloves can easily come off at any time. I am a east side Hamiltuckian and we were born and bred that way. As professional as the A1 claims to be he is very juvenile in his approach to reveal the GCPro's true identity. Most of the WSLL minions know the truth, why else would there be so much total lack of understanding of my true mission in life. Secondarily, I have truly no clue who the dude is, and could rather care less.
Yet, I digress. Back to the topic at hand. Have you all checked out the scouting combine report card? I feel like the Cincy Bengals of WSLL, no scouting department, no GM, no coaching staff and I would guess, another sub .500 finish.

Not Mickey D's, had very big ears and eats cheese........ Has a son who transferred from a JUCO, class of 2005 now at a D1 school with religous affiliations, a GCL man, from a previous thread,,,, and another son who tried out at the Heat Facility a few weeks back? Nothing Juvenile about that. Just do not know where all the pent up anger and frustation comes from.....I am from the East Side of New York, 92nd. and Lexington Avenue...not far from Central Park East.....

[BC4LIFE]

No business of mine but it seems like some "1" does have some pent up anger...does not seem to be acting very professional. Seems like you can take the boy out of the NY but can't take the NY out of the boy.

[GCPRO]

A1-good lord, if you must know. My oldest went to a DI school out of high school, didn't do so well in the classroom, went to a JUCO last year and now is at a DII school. My second oldest is at a DII school playing another sport. My daughter plays no sports, as long as chasing boys is still not considered a sport. My son plays at the LL level, but also plays football and basketball, not much of an athlete considering he couldn't play for your Heat team. But no problem with that, just one of life's little "c" balls. Let's see what else, I have seen letter of intents, cannot imagine that you sign them for Ohio Regional Campus affiliates, yet I believe you when you said your son did. I truly have no idea whom you or little A1 is, but I have previously stated that plenty of times. I am not real familiar with FF athletics though I have known each of the past 4 baseball coaches, and beside Coach Etter, knew most of the previous basketball coaches. I will, however, make a point to keep tabs on the Indians this season. But then again, probably not, plenty else to concern myself with.

BIG JOHN: :) Great kids on the west side. The kids on the Ohio Heat are great and will do well. We were proud of them at the LLWS and we as an organization are proud to have them. I think Nichting played for them last year at times and did extremely well. I like the WSLL program and teams like the Cause more good kids... just do not understand GC. I also have Coach Grissom and his son coaching my 18 year old team, which are both very professional. I even like Blue Fan... GC is mad because I know who he is and he thought it was a big secret.....:eek:

Some of you yappi peeps are pretty knowledgeable when it comes to baseball. However, most of you are uneducated or down right disrespectful when it comes to manners and edicate. Nobody really cares who is who on here and further more the YAPPI Moderators have to tell someone every other day about outing or attempting to out another poster. Don’t bite on the sarcastic remarks, and if you’re going to take every post personally get a thicker coat of armor. It does not matter who Big john , GCPRO, or A1 is, this is Yappi, not will the real (insert Name Here) stand up. Toot your own horn loud and clear, but not at he expence of another peer.

WSLL has 3 11's playing for the Heat? Do they do that during the WSLL season? Isn't that a Bozo no-no??

Well supposed to be a no-no but we'll see what happens with it.

[AnUnbiasedOpinion]

Well supposed to be a no-no but we'll see what happens with it.

Is that a special WSLL rule? I'm admittedly not well versed w/ LL (just what I've read over the internet the last few years), but I thought LL doesn't restrict play on other teams except during the tournaments. Has something changed?

Also, I believe they may be referring to the 13U Heat team with 13U players. Do top 13U players still play in the WSLL program? Do they even have play after 12U (juniors I believe?)?

[bpdawg32]

actually I know Rick does alot of non Badin stuff I think they kicked out of the basketball GYM!!!LOL!!! JK I think it will be hard for him to write following the Rams, his son should be starting this year I know I would much Rather watch the game and not have to focus on writing!!

I heard WSLL has a rule for playing on a other teams but it's not enforced, and no you can't play after your 12 year old year.

TRN1 can explain this better than me.

[bpdawg32]

it is a WSLL rule

[TRN1]

yes they can play travel ball no wsll rule for that and yes we are just talking wsll rules here

now if they miss there wsll game or games and it is found out because of travel ball yes then wsll has a problem with this

but i know the kids playing and this will not be an issue - they know and believe wsll comes 1st - they are just finding out what travel ball is about - the heat would like to have wsll as a feeder program when our wsll kids turn 13. so both sides know whats going on here - and understand.

so its only a issue with wsll if games are missed

Thanks for the explanation TRN1 and that is good that the heat wants WSLL for a feeder program sounds pretty interesting.

BIG JOHN: I can say as the Founder of the Ohio Heat that YES we love the kids from West Side. They are eager to learn, work hard under pressure. Nothing more pressure filled than Center Stage at the LL World Series, and we welcome West Side kids that would like to play a little different game, travel a little more, but I feel nothing can replace LL baseball and the run to try and make it to Williamsport. My son missed out on that since FF did not have a program like that. That was precisely why at 9 Years Old we did the alternative took 4 kids Austin Ventling, Zak Shiffman, Kevin Fields and Gio Silvani.. 3 play for Fairfield and one for Badin,,,from our 22-0 coach pitch team coached by BTL THE FUN UNDEFEATED SEASON. LoL From that team the Ohio Heat was born..We even had some West Side kids and East Side ones on that team... Went from FF Buccaneers to Hamilton Heat played at Grant Field in the North End. to Cincy Heat to Ohio Heat as we spread out more. Good luck this season on the West Side and keep the Ohio Heat in mind in the future...

Just wondering how the draft went and who went where?

[TRN1]

synder kid is a monster went to the white sox wow is that kid big, hope they get him throwing strikes he will dominate maybe this year but at 12 with wow can't imagine how big he'll be and with tim get the feeling he'll throw strike - he won't need any other pitches

should be a well balanced league this year

hard to say who drafted the best guess will find out come the end of the year when we know how some of those kids have played all year long

[bambam30]

Just wondering how the draft went and who went where?

I think that Maus picked some good kids that will compliment his team very well. Definitely the team to beat this year. I also am interested in seeing what the Dodger's will do with all the talent they have this year. They made some very good picks.

I think we as a whole put a wrench in every move that Coomer tried to make. That was very nice.

So bambam30 who did Maus get and still think Coomer will be there at the end.

[GCPRO]

I would think the Orioles would have to be right there. They have two very good pitchers with a lot of experience returning. I also see the Reds in the other league as being pretty good, lots of talent returning. As for the Red Sox, or Coomer as you all affectionately refer to them, I would agree always there at the end.
Did that big 3 way blockbuster deal come off??? What did commisioner Selig think of it all?????

[GotPop]

The big qeustion is who took the kid that needed acting classes?:laugh:

No big 3 way deal. We'll keep him and deal with it as it comes. Wouldn't be fair to everyone else if we did that.

[Fielders Choice]

No big 3 way deal. We'll keep him and deal with it as it comes. Wouldn't be fair to everyone else if we did that.

I agree.

[GCPRO]

I believe that would be the Reds whom took the bad actor. That was waaaayyy strange. Pretty amazing stuff, but also pretty typical. I was thinking of posting of the Indians late round entry but remembered I vowed to play nice.

[Fielders Choice]

My apologies. I got dancing with the stars mixed up with bad actor. I think that is one of the wrenches I was speaking of when it came to Coomer and Nichting. (Bad Actor)

So TRN1 who all did coach Coomer and you get?

[GCPRO]

The entire draft is on mlb.com

[kentucky fan 12]

Bam Bam you might of put a wrench in coomers plans but you know he will still contend. He will still find away to sneak in a few runs here and there. You remember last year when he was sending kids home left and right against you guys, thats the only way we could beat you guys last year.

[TRN1]

OUT on MLB.COM it has the red sox taking couch out of filmore state Univ.
hogan i believe out of st julie state ( might be a ju-co) those were 2 10's
sapp and nick wilson cleveland state college plus kenny got 3 12 year olds in the 12 year old draft rindler, alex jones, alex anderson.

[GCPRO]

Very good TRN1-you are starting to catch on. I think Hogan may be out of St. JosephsU. though. He does have 3 years of eligibility though. The real question needs to be answered though. How many have signed "letters of intent?"

[Fielders Choice]

The Reds have signed 2 of their 3 picks but the 2nd rounder wants 1st round money and that ain't gonna happen. He could be a holdout.

[GotPop]

With all the D1 schools and talent in the area, it should be 3 teams going for state again.

[GCPRO]

FieldersChoice-i was thinking your 3rd rounder would want 1st round money. Finally, big john gets his answers. Can someone just invite him to the draft next year or put him on staff.

[Fielders Choice]

Why is he just wanting to know who the Red Sox picked?

Can't you all just let him in though. He has his face against the window and looking.

[Five Tool Player]

Does anyone know how the minor league draft went? who is going to be the team to beat there?

[Fielders Choice]

Does anyone know how the minor league draft went? who is going to be the team to beat there?

Five Tool Player? Who is this Jim Bowden?

I heard the minor league draft was very long. Someone said it lasted 2 1/2 hours.
Don't know who the team to beat is going to be but heard the A's had a good draft.

[leojames]

And what about coach pitch? I saw on another thread that A-1 said he had an undefeated world champion coach pitch team back in the day. Any such dynasty at WSLL?

[Fielders Choice]

leojames: Even though I was just kidding. BTL was the Head Coach of the Coach pitch 8U team from 1997, my son was on it and my sister was the bench coach, it was 22-0, but I was making light of that fact. It was lots of fun and I miss the ages 9-12, they were the best in my opinion....

[GCPRO]

Bench coach..........in coach pitch...........wow! Just making light, I'm sure. No wonder any team I have coached could never win a ballgame, never had a bench coach. Just making light of it all though! Do the kids get championship rings in coach pitch?

They get that in tee-ball.

[Five Tool Player]

They should be good they got two first round picks. The draft was long and dissappointing if you ask me. After the top 12 were picked there wasn't much to choose from.

Will there be any one to compete with the A's or will they be the Red Sox of last year?

[kentucky fan 12]

Will there be any one to compete with the A's or will they be the Red Sox of last year? They won,t be as good as the red sox last year, I don't think.

[bpdawg32]

They won,t be as good as the red sox last year, I don't think.

has anyone put any thought into what may happen if the FF League has some pretty good ball players

I'm not sure how the word disappointing even fits here, you're talking about over 80 kids that signed up to play ball. Not much to choose from? :confused: Coach em up Coach and maybe some day they will be worthy of playing with you and Big John's Red Sox. WOW! You just bashed a whole League in 12 words.

:blush: A1 You couldn’t have gotten one of these rings. You were only the winning coach. It‘s not for the coaches and kids who play, it’s for the parents who work hard at making sure their kid is the best. A lot of politicking, pushing, shoving, and downgrading other teams and players went in to earning those rings.

I never said that minor league shouldn't be fun, every league from tee ball to little league should be fun. I would never bash league in anyway. Fundamentals should be learned in coach pitch more than minor league, you should know that. The reason i said it was dissappointing is because it seems to me like the simple things that these kids should know how to do before they get to minor league was worse this year than the past two. That's just my opinion and not to intended to bash the league. Stop being so sensitive i am a nobody when comes to WSLL unlike yourself. Don't know what you mean about all the redsox stuff but has nothing to do me. Finally i have always coached all my kids to have fun and did the best that i could to teach them fundamentals before they get to minor league.

I enjoy coaching or watching these kids come up from coach pitch to minor league. I know any kids that i have coached in coach pitch i want to see do well weather it's tryouts or the minor league season.

[Throwing Strikes]

Just wondering who's the team to beat this year in Little League??

[GCPRO]

I'll give it a shot. There will be no one as dominant as the Pirates were last season, so should be a fun year.
Orioles-best 1-2 pitching punch in the league in Begley and Marsh.
Indians have the long haired kid and seem to always be good offensively.
Red Sox will always be in the hunt, real good 11's and Hibbard is great.
Mets should be much improved especially with Francis on the hill.
Reds probably have the most talent, have seven 12 year olds and the two top 11's in the league.

[Throwing Strikes]

I agree with Marsh and Bagley they gave a solid 1-2 punch and should be the favorites...The Red Sox are they under "New Managment" will their be a mananger controversy?? Will it tear the team apart?? Just Kidding guys...I think the Mets will also be very good and have to agree the Reds have the veteran players (can we say veterans in LL?) with 7 12yr. olds...

[BlueFan82]

At this point in the season boys......

We're ALL Undefeated!!

PLAY BALL!!!

Well I am certainly sorry I am going to miss all the Moet drinking at the drawdown, have fun boys!
Back to baseball, any ideas on when the park will open and are the cages open even though the fields are closed?
With this crappy weather and now rain forecast for early next week and over the weekend is there any chance the season will be pushed back a week? Spring break will make it hard for teams to practice with a number of families going out of town. With a 3 games a week schedule that makes it tough for teams to get some practice in and I believe opening day is only a little more than 3 weeks away. Some teams do not have the ability to use indoor facilities. Any thoughts from the "gurus".

[TRN1]

as of right now i don't see the season being pushed back - obviously if things don't change that can be discussed

i would hope the cages would be opened by monday - that snow stopped the lights from being put up on cage 3 and we need to get the carpet down

if it wouldn't rain tomorrow or friday we could try for the weekend - cages

i guess we all hear different things but i was under the impression all the team had a place inside to practice

[GCPRO]

Well it looks to be another week of practice shot. Two weeks until first pitch and no one has been on a field yet. Well I guess no one has, I guess if you are in the know you can somehow get some pt at the complex. What does a guy with no "in" at HHS, no "in" at one of the wonderful indoor hitting complexes around, no "in" for all star pre season practice. Just show up and play on April 6 I guess????? Business as usual.

Take it up with the man upstairs. I'm pretty frustrated with the snow, rain, hail, wind, pestillence as well. I'd love to get out on the field..but we're not
getting cooperation from Tim Hedrick.

[GotPop]
