with pitchers and catchers starting soon what are your pre season predictions for the FAVC Buckeye. Here's mine.
1. Glen Este - loaded with pitching with marksbery, fuller, snoke, calhoun as well as others. they have a good line up with good speed at the top with jones and bromagen and power in the middle with hord, keller, jones, fuller. heard they lost their catcher for the season which could be a big blow, not sure who they have to back him up.
2. Anderson - on the mound, rexroat can keep them in the game with anyone. their pitching staff may not be very deep. kenney has a live arm but struggles to be consistent sometimes. rod needs to be the spark plug of the offense like he was as a freshman. good speed at the top of their lineup with rod and schraer. manor, jeffery, kenney, and bisinger look good in the middle of the order. jeffery is very solid behind the plate.
3. Milford - sounds like they have too many injuries in the pitching staff, and their catcher gastrich likely out for the season is a big blow. nesteroff throws the ball well and could be the ace of their staff. amos, hickock, mcfarland, and daiker will be solid in the lineup. i don't think they can win the league with all their injuries.
4. Harrison - kuykendoll, weinle, and peters are all good players. peters is a very good hitter with power. not sure what pitching they have coming back, but they will be competitive and could shake things up if they get some pitching.
5. Loveland - they don't have much pitching depth. lay is a solid hitter and does a good job behind the plate. i just can't see them challenging for the top 3 spots without much pitching.
6. Winton Woods - they will get hammered again like every other year.

The catcher will be Gerber, 6'1", Jr. 60-6.8, can hit and can block, dont think they are going to to be hurtin' at that or any other position this year.

Pretty good assessment of the league. I think the league will be very competitive this year, but I would agree with you that GE is the favorite to win it with their pitching staff.

Gerbs needs to step up, and he will. He will add speed to an already fast lineup and will be just fine behind the plate.
he wont be catching when he comes back, he will probably play a little first and some outfield, maybe third but i doubt it. the only thing milford needs from him is his bat. Also look for him to close a few ball games out, the kid touches ninety.
i agree. if he's able to play he will not be behind the plate. i heard mcfarland will be getting most of the innings at first as he should be healthy by the start of the season so i don't think mike would be there.maybe right field with his arm. i'm not very sure if mike can touch 90 but i do know(as do most people) that he has a very live arm. how much would the knee injury affect him?

Gerber can play.
But before you go filling ppls head with that,
wait and make sure he goes back behind the plate.

Gerb wants to know where else he is going...what do you know he dont?
harrison has 4 solid pitchers returning including kuykendoll and gibson who pitched varsity as sophmores cron and huber are solid senior pitchers look out for harrison to contend for the league title with 6 juniors that played varsity as sophmores and they only lost 2 position players
from last season
dont go talking like hes GUARANTEED the catching spot.
anybody could try out and impress the coach and show him they are better than Gerber.
yeah. hes a solid ball player.
but ive seeen better.
One gets tired of coming on here trying to match wits with others that come unarmed. Didn't say that he was guaranteed anything, no one is. Tryouts have yet to even start. I was just answering the question of whom the back up could be for Jeffers. Gerb has been catching for GE the past 2 years, would only be my guess that he would move up to Varsity this year. Maybe you know something I don't, but some how I doubt that as well. Everyone will go out busting their butts to make this team one that will be able to live up to all the hipe that it is getting.
Most of those who get on here are from GE, and I am sure at the age that they are they confuse hipe with excitement. I think GE should be very excited about their upcoming year. It has been a while for them to be excited and hiped up for a potentially great year for their baseball team. Overrated may be an over statement, because you can look at the players and the talent that they have, and on paper they should do very well. They are going to have to go out a prove it now on the field, by working hard, and wanting to silence all the ney sayers out there and not let it go to their heads before even taking the field. That would go for every team, for that matter. Everyone starts the season 0-0, it is up to each and every team to go out a prove or disprove those who support or want to deny that they can play. Again up to everyone to pull together as a team, have some step up to be leaders and guide this team to the level they have the potential to achieve.

After taking a look at the favc pitching stats from last year, I would venture to say that the GE pitchers do NOT look very good on paper. All 4 of the pitchers mentioned in earlier posts had era's over 6 last year. I realize that players can improve over the offseason but to say that the pitching staff is loaded when none of them had overwhelmingly impressive statistics last season might be a bit of a stretch.
Bitzy03 Ge Was A Very Young Baseball Team Last Year... Now The Pitching Staff Is The Foundayion Of Every Team And Ge Has This . Ge Mom I Play Pro Ball And I Seen Your Son Play And Gerber Will Be The Catcher For Ge . Ge Mom Have A Great Day .
If GE can keep the old pro's and daddy ballers out of the kitchen they have a chance to be pretty special.
If the divas can show up and be gritty team players instead of worrying about stats and how pretty they look in uniform GE will be pretty special.(You know who you are just shut up and play.)
If GE play's its best players instead of trying to make everyone happy GE will be pretty special.(It's not knothole boyz!!)
Chemistry is key with this GE bunch. If they can gel and become teammates that care about each other and put the team goals in front of thier own personal gain they are going to be pretty special.
It has been a very difficult year at GE to say the least. It would be nice if this baseball team could come together and have a great season. It would be a nice way to finish the school year.

Why is it that everyone takes everything so literally..I said that GE looks good on paper, not just the pitching but as a whole. I know Fuller and Marksberry didn't get to pitch much last year at the Varsity level, but I know what Marksberry did in summer ball, don't know about Fuller. I know they have some talent coming up from JV from last year that didn't go up to the Varsity level, for reasons that only the coach can tell you, but I feel that they could of played at the Varsity. That is why JV won the FAVC last year, due to the talent that they had. I don't claim to have all the answers, nor will I use this forum to ellaborate on who played and who didn't or who will play this year. I know some of the kids and have seen them play over that last few years, and the amount of talent that they have both pitching and in the field should make...I said SHOULD make a heck of a team. But as I have said before, it is up to these kids, KIDS to make or break themselves on the field.

Nice observation. Your right GE has kids that are studs that have never even gone to try -outs . These kids could make the team , and start on Varsity this year , as well as last years team .This is just my opinion. These kids are well known at school , as well out side of school so maybe the coaches should check w/ the existing team members to get some names , and try to get these kids to come out to help fill the positions that are in question.
If there are kids at GE that should be playing and are not because people are not bowing down to them and begging them to play then GE doe not need them anyway.
Kids like that are not team players and typically would put themselves above the team anyway. I.E. ='s bad apple, and bad chemistry. They should stick to playing on thier AABC SUPER GOLD MEDAL CHAMPIONS MABEEYIAMSTUPID WORLD SERIES CHAMPION SUMMER SELECT TEAM.

There is no one at GE who is not playing who could come in and start on the varsity team, let alone even make the team.
