The Wide Open National League Central.

It is June, virtually anyone is still in it at this point. Although the better teams are beginning to separate themselves, and the jockeying for position has begun. Many divisions are still wide open, some have it narrowed down to two-three team races.  This is where things start to get fun.  The month of July is quite possibly the month where seasons are made, and where seasons are broken.  This is the last chance for the teams that are not supposed to be in it, to decide whether they think they can remain in the race. Also where the first place teams get to draft the best players from the "sellers".  July is the month where everything can fall apart, and where everything can come together.  The National League Central has almost turned over, almost.  For many years the Cubs, Astros, and St. Louis reigned supreme.  The Pirates,Reds, and Brewers traded years as being cellar dwellers.  This year, Houston is 16 games back in June, the Cubs look like they need Fielder or Pujols desperately. St. Louis has stayed in it, but don't strike that same fear this season.  Pujols is sidelined for weeks, and for any team to lose the league's best hitter is devastating.  Cincinnati and Milwaukee have played well and both possess talented offenses, and the Pirates have come out of nowhere and find themselves in the middle of things.  The Reds currently sit 3.5 games back at fourth place. They look up to the Pirates who are three out, and the Cardinals who are two out, while Milwaukee is leading it all. This division will come down to a number of factors. Can the Red's get better pitching? They score tons of runs, but only sit one game over .500. Landing a pitcher would be big for this team, but the pitching market is not expected to be strong.  Can the Pirates actually keep this up?  They won't be big buyers regardless of where they are come July 31.  They have many players from the opening day roster on the DL, maybe that will give their anemic offense a jolt.  The Cardinals just need to sustain without Albert.  Berkman and Holliday have hit well, and are a formidable lineup without Pujols.  But at the end of the day, he is the heart and soul of that franchise. Its hard to imagine for the Cardinals to make a run without him in the lineup.  This has to be the Brewers' season.   It is all but certain that this is Prince Fielder's last season in Wisconsin.  They are receiving good pitching from Gallardo and Greinke, and Ryan Braun has turned into a superstar.  They can stand to add a bat.   What it all means, is that the Central division can be won by 4 teams at this point.  Each team has its strengths, and weaknesses.  Injuries and Trades are going to be intricate parts as to how this division will shape up.  Jose Reyes, Hunter Pence, and Carlos Beltran. All these names have been thrown out, along with many others.  But a lot can happen as we still have three months to play, but July might be the most important one.

LHAC Football, ahh the time is coming so so soon. Preview.

Well what can I say, I love High School Football.  It is a true passion of mine and has inspired me to write and to start this blog in a way.  My roots in doing sports' writing start with High School football. I live in the non-WPIAL part of Western Pennsylvania(not that I don't follow that too)  But I pay close attention to Districts 5 and 6, and in particular the LHAC and Johnstown area.  I think its good Football, but of course I'm biased.   But without further adieu, I'll start making my point.....
The LHAC enters a year in turnover, mainstay coaches, Kem Salem and Ken Buzzard leave their respective schools and welcome new coaches as do Bishop Guilfoyle and Cambria Heights.  The league loses the class of 2011, and I would like to wish them the best in their future endeavors.  But another exciting year of Football will get under way.  Last year showed to be different than year's past.  Bishop Carroll was back, Bishop McCort was down, Johnstown was dominant, and Cambria Heights was competitive.  Will this year have surprises like BC and Johnstown? Time will tell.  But the league is very talented and has some prospective Division 1 caliber players are on hand.  Johnstown possesses Alkwan Williams, a Linebacker that already holds an offer, including one from Pitt.  Gervon Simon is a Dual Threat QB with good blood lines, he too will see some looks whether it be from the FBS or FCS.  Zach Rugg of Bishop McCort will also see looks.  He is 6-5 in the 270 range, that size alone will get him offers.  His Scout profile has a Temple offer listed.  Jon Rizzo of Richland will see looks from both Football schools, but also wrestling schools.  He will have an option at what he does. Many others should see Division II and D3 looks.  Talent is up from last season.  The league is always strong, but like many years can possibly have three District Champions resting in the league. Interesting story lines have developed and have yet to develop.  The season is about 70 days way, but some things can't wait. So for my current readers, and my "old" readers at Bleachercoaches.  Hope you enjoy the fact that I was on vacation this week, and had some time at nights to put this together.

Section I

1. Forest Hills (13-2)  Key Players- Gdula (1613 yds 27 TDs)  Unger (527 8TDs).Levi Ohler. Burkey. Shope.

The Rangers come off a solid run to the Western Final, and come into this season still poised for another solid run.  Gdula will be counted on to make more plays, as he does not have Dudukovich to rely on anymore.  He has a good core of receivers and athletes.  The line will be missing 3 faces, but return 2 solid players.  The D is this team's identity, and return 6 starters from a Defense that was dominant at times last season. Throw in an 8-0 group of freshmen, the Rangers have the tools to win another D6 Championship. 

2.Bishop Carroll (11-3)  Key Players- Barzdo (471 3 TDs, 1077 RuYards 20 TDs) Maruca  Smith Strong Mock

Well I don't think the re-emergence of BC will be a 1 year stint.  The Huskies return as dangerous a player in the league as anyone in, Josh Barzdo.  He runs extremely well for a QB, and makes big play after big play.  And with 4 offensive linemen, plus their TE back.  He will have plenty of room to roam.  Losing Woo hurts big time, but Sponsky should have this team in a position for success without him.  Defensively, leading tackler, Nicholas Maruca returns.  Provide it they find some complimentary skilled players, theres no reason why they can't defend their District title.

3. Central Cambria (6-5)   Key Players- O'Saben McBreen Bracken Bellock

The Red Devils will be without some key players from last year including Coach Buzzard.  They had an up and down year and banged out a playoff berth.  A familiar name will be called upon to be the top playmaker, Stephen O'Saben.   He is a dangerous big play threat and will be relied on heavily. Papuga will also see carries.  Scott Bellock will be counted on to be the new QB.  The Red Devils have talent, and always have the size and physicality to compete.  I think Central Cambria can put together a nice season.

4. Penn Cambria (6-5) Key Players- Buck (625 yards 4 TD’s)  Fuller (673 yds 9Tds) Lawhead(9 Tackles/PG)

Penn  Cambria had a hot start and a dismal end to last season. The Panther’s attack relied heavily upon the ground game of Buck and Fuller and both are back and are poised for big seasons.  The Panthers lose a lot of size from last year and will be thin up front, but if they can find enough blocking, the ground game will be the carrying force. On Defense, Devin Lawhead led the unit as a sophomore and will be counted on to do the same this season.  If Penn Cambria can keep games, “slow and ugly” they should be able to compete in a lot of games.

5. Bishop Guilfoyle (2-7)  Key Players-Pat Irwin. Tai Irwin.

Hard to preview a team that was not well regarded, and well did not enter stats on Maxpreps.  So that is that.  But BG does have two brothers who are young and athletic.  Expect the Irwin brothers to assume responsibility of the offense. BG has some size up front, so they will need to find a back to replace Art Darr.  If they can do that, maybe the Marauders will find a way to squeak out a few wins, but until then new Coach Justin Wheeler will be in rebuilding mode.

6. Cambria Heights(1-9) Key Players-Nathan   Myers(535 RUyds 3 Tds  22 catches 402yds 5Td’s)

Well life after Caleb Vescovi begins.  Heights played at a very high level despite the 1-9 record. It cost Coach Justin Myers his job even though people believed he was the right guy for the job.  He turned the attitude around, the wins were on the way.   It is tough for a  good team to lose a Quarterback that was capable of playing in the PSAC, it will be really hard for the Highlanders. Coach Jarrod Lewis has that daunting task.  Baerer Nathan seems to be the kid up for the job.  He will have a very dynamic player to toss the ball around to in Ben Myers.  He played a factor in both the rushing and receiving game and is the leader back in both categories. Tyler Crawford will also be counted on to help the offense.   Definitely one of the tougher jobs in the state, the team has some very solid athletes and may be able to pick a few games off.  They were heading in the right direction with the last coach, Lewis shouldn’t change too much.

SECTION II

1.  Johnstown (10-2) Key players-Simon(2338 Passyds 30 Tds, 659 RuYards 11Tds)Williams(25-516-8)

The Trojans simply put are loaded. They come off their most successful season in the LHAC, and look to have the same type of success. Not losing much, the Trojans boast one of the most lethal offenses in the district.  Quaterback Gervon Simon will be followed by college recruiters closely after his spectacular junior season.  He can run and pass, and he is helped out generously by a very dangerous receiving core.  D1 recruit Alkwan Williams proved his offensive worth last season by putting up big numbers.  Watson, Minter, and Andrews are also nice threats.  Andrews could play in college with his size.   The line is big, that’s for sure with four kids listed at over 300 pounds.  Defensively, Williams is the most talented player this league has to offer, and he’s been showing at this side of the ball for three years now.  Minter and Watson form a solid secondary.  Johnstown will be tough to beat this year.

1.     2.  Bishop McCort(8-5)  Key Players-Cooper(1406 PassYds 12TDs) Leech (33 Catches 639-9Td’s)

The Crushers enter 2011 with a new coach for the first time in 15 seasons.  The Crimson Crushers had an uncharacteristic “down” season, but showed improvement throughout the year and that should continue into this season.  Jesse Cooper should only get better at the Quarterback position, and will have a host of receivers to throw to.  Leech returns off a solid Junior season, and Jordan Spangler, Jerqual Wilson, and sophomore Nemo Trexler will all be factors.  Varga and another sophomore Tyler Rugg will man the backfield.  Older brother Zach will anchor the line and has received D1 interest.  The Crushers got valuable experience and added a talented sophomore class.  The coaching transition will be the easiest in the league, and if the Crushers grow up quickly they can challenge their rivals from down the street.

 3.Richland(6-4) Key players-Jon Rizzo(957 yds 9 Td’s)  Kyle Flick (18 catches 417yds 6 Td’s)

Richland had a strange offseason to say the least, but through it all Brandon Bailey remains the Head Coach.  He returns one of the more dynamic players in the recent Richland football revival in Jonny Rizzo. He has seen some interest in football recruiting, but wrestling seems to be his calling. Either way a 1,000 yard season is not out of the question.  Kyle Flick was a surprise at receiver as a freshman last year, and he may be the best athlete on the team.  Finding a Quarterback is the key.  The Defense has size to stop the run, but may lack the athletes to slow down the two teams ahead of them In-section.  But the Rams should be making their way back to the playoffs on the back of Rizzo.

4.Bedford(5-5) Key Players- Marcus Shippey(524 payds 6Tds 428RuYds 7Tds)

Bedford was able to play 4-5 ball within the league and beat only the lower tier teams, and out of nowhere went on to destroy their rival Chestnut Ridge to end the year on a high note.  Ridge was really good, and a playoff team might I add.  Marcus Shippey is back for his last go round and is still in the upper echelon of the league.  After the magical run he put on his sophomore season, he has the tools to put it together again.  The Hess’s will be his main offensive help.  And Shippey will anchor the sizable Bedford Defense at Linebacker(He isn’t your ordinary QB)  Bedford should win games, and overall they should be better.  They aren’t experiencing the type of success they are used to.  But it will be hard for them to unseat the teams rated ahead of them.

5. Westmont(3-7) Key players-Burnheimer(677 4Tds) Intihar (328 1) Duplin(8.7 T/G  2 sacks)

The Hilltoppers remained a mediocre team last season after another summer of hope.  The class that people believed may turn this thing around, are now seniors. And they do have talent.  Josh Duplin is as talented as they come on both sides of the line. He will play college ball at some level.  The offense will be centered behind the running game of Burnheimer and Intihar.  There may also be a QB battle on the Hilltop as Joe Glennon the incumbent, looks to fight off sophomore Liam Moran.  If they can settle on a QB, align the athletes they have where they need to be they may be alright.  They lack size outside of Duplin though, and that can hurt.

6.Somerset(0-10) Key Players-Brenden Urbain Michael Flyte

Somerset is coming off a forgettable 2010.  They lose most of the playmakers off that team which can be a good thing.  The incoming sophomore class has plenty of athletes and potential, thus making this year a rebuilding year. It was not so long ago the Golden Eagles were playing playoff football.  If they can settle on a Qb between Urbain or Flyte or the sophomore they can use the other two in other facets of the offense. Somerset is always a question mark, being a AAA school for so long, and now a big AA and they have not produced a solid football team.  Its coming, but this is not the year.

Graham and the questionable recruits....

People are hitting the panic button a little soon.  The man has yet to roam the sidelines of a half full Heinz Field and see what Pitt Football is all about.  Yes, it took him longer than usual to add some recruits.  Yes, the stars and more so the offers that are next to these kid's names are troubling. BUT we must let him do his "thing" on the sideline first.   Let us not forget some of the best Pitt players in recent memory were Dion Lewis, 2 star with a Miami (Oh) and Tulane offers, and also Greg Romeus with barely any offers himself.  Also current starters, Jason Hendricks(3 MAC offers,JMU, and UConn) and Devin Street(3 MAC and UConn) are also former 2 star recruits.  And former 4 star recruit, Pat Bostick is now in broadcasting.  So there is that.  Nothing involving 17-18 year olds is a sure thing.  Good football players are good football players.  And a couple of these recruits may be good football players.

Marzett Geter-How about a sure thing?  Geter commits and says he is not 100% sure about coming to Pitt. He's 5-10 180, likely going to be a Cornerback. Coming in from the WPIAL AA ranks.  So who knows, but Graham involving himself with WPIAL coaches is not a bad thing.

Brandyn Cook- He's 6-2 290, and looks like he can be a Center down the line.  He has a good head on his shoulders, and is looking into Pitt Law School.   So thats a good thing.  Plus Centers are never highly rated prospects any way you look at it.

William Parks- At 6-2 180, he can either be a Big Corner, or a Safety.  He had a few offers from around the country.  Don't know much about him, but adding bodies in the secondary can't hurt.

Trenton Coles- I'm a little bit excited about this one, yet skeptical.  He is 6-3 175 with 4.4 speed.  He comes from a top flight A program in the WPIAL, and he does not have an offer from anyone but Pitt.  How can that be?  Grades is question?  Character?  I'm not sure, but I don't buy into the whole playing for an A school hurts you.  Elijah Fields was a 4 star recruit out of Duquesne High School.  So that theory is useless.  Graham is all about speed, and he got one of the fastest PA has to offer.

Myles Hilliard- He is the "prize" recruit so far.  Standing at 6-6 240, he fits the mold of a prototype Defensive End.  He had multiple offers from other Big East schools, so that is a good battle won picking this guy up.  Hopefully he is another Jabaal Sheard.

Totals- 5 commits. 2 WPIAL. 1 Philly. 2 Ohio kids.   2  3 Stars   3 No stars.

What it means-   Well for one, Graham is off the hook thus far.  He added 4 guys in one weekend.  Two of the guys seem legit. People are starting to throw out he's a "horrible recruiter"  and that adding guys to fit the system isn't going to work.  Umm how do they know this already?  He could add Spence,Shell, and Voytik for all we know. And like I pointed out before stars do not mean everything.  WVU, Boise State, and TCU are teams that manage to win without top flight recruits.  And Pitt was a team that managed to lose 4-5 games a year with top flight recruits under Wannstedt.  Change can't be a bad thing, and let's actually let the guy coach a game or two before we start to get critical.  No games can be won in June.

Pitt, Penn State. It's back on, and it should be back on forever.

     

                        VS.



Can you ever imagine Alabama and Auburn taking a fifteen year hiatus  in their rivalry? How about Florida and Florida State decide its not in their best interest to play, ditto for USC and UCLA. Some of these games are within conferences, I understand that, but the principle of these teams not playing is outrageous.  Well it is the same thing right here in the Keystone State.  Pennsylvania supports two large Universities with proud Football traditions and solid teams year in and year out, yet they have not played since 2000.  Its not right anyway you shape it. The game is good for the state of Pennsylvania, the fans of the two programs, and college football in general.

         The debate about this game has raged on for a decade, and you hear the same arguments over and again by the two sides. I would like to go into a few of the arguments.  "Pitt needs Penn State more than Penn State needs Pitt"  It depends how you look at it. Who is Penn State's rival? Ohio State?  The Lions are 2-7 in their last nine meetings with the Buckeyes.  Michigan State and the made up rivalry trophy?  I just don't get the sentiment that anybody from Central Pennsylvania gives two hoots about Michigan State and their average program. But hey it might just be me.   So the only Eastern School in an all Midwestern conference lacks that true rival. Hey how about a team less than 200 miles away?  It makes too much sense.  I understand Penn State can play Harvard and still manage to round up 100,000 people to the erector set.  But why not play a meaningful game that will excite the fan base and the entire state?  The game will be on ABC, College Gameday is almost assuredly to be there.  It will be one of the games of the year, every year.  From a Pitt perspective, it is said by someone that Pitt needs the game more than Penn State.  Why? They don't NEED it.  Pitt has an archrival with West Virginia.  Pitt plays Notre Dame on a yearly basis.  They have their two big selling games. Its no secret Pitt isn't selling out on most years, it takes them to actually be in the Top 10 to start getting attendance . Nobody from Pitt will deny it.  Pitt has a great fan base, but horrible fan support.  Its just one of those things.  And in my opinion they aren't begging to play this game based out of a need, but as a want.  The game will generate instant buzz. ESPN, National TV, College Gameday, Showcase for two great Schools, Showcase for a very proud "Football State".  You get why I'm saying?  So in a sense Pitt needs this game, but I believe Penn State needs it as well.
      Another argument you may have heard is Penn State does not want to make this game a priority, that they have more important games.  "He said it works for a two-year series because there were openings in the schedule, but the school is looking to play nonconference games throughout the country to enable the large Nittany Lion fan base to see the team play. And the school's need to play road games across the country combined with its need to play at least seven home games every year means there is very little flexibility in scheduling."  (Taken from the PPG)   Really that is the best Tim Curley can come up with?  Well in the past five seasons, Penn State has played twenty non conference games, only four of which their "large fan base" was able to see.  And by that they play one game at Temple, which was basically a home game, they played up at Syracuse, and Notre Dame, and Alabama(I'm Sure the Nittany Lion Nation is crawling all over Tuscaloosa?)   This season Penn State is going to play their other in-state "rival"  Temple again.  Why not replace the annual Temple game with Pitt?  Let's see a game on ABC at 8:00 in primetime, or the BTN at Noon?   Come on Tim Curley!  And maybe he is just saying this because the old man is still alive, and Joe has never been too fond of Pitt.  But he can not be serious with statements saying he has to play across the country. I don't know why Penn State administration will not just give in from previous stances and just play the game.

    Thirdly the other argument you hear, or have heard is, "Penn State doesn't care about Pitt anymore, the rivalry is dead."  "That is erroneous, erroneous on both accounts."  The rivalry is very much alive, and you would be blind not to see that.  Seriously, think about it.  The two teams recruit the same players, the schools are the two major institutions of the state, and academic wars and arguments rage on all the time. The two schools compete for students, and both are very proud and believe they are the better University.  The Football game will only enhance it further.  Pitt does have West Virginia, but for generations it was Penn State.  That was the game, that was the team.  And the same goes for Penn State.   They don't have anyone to call their rival.  They have played some magnificent games with their neighbors to the West.   It only makes sense to play the game.  Penn State fans will say they don't care about Pitt.  Go out and read message boards, anyday of the year for the past ten years.  Penn State people will be on Pitt boards, vice a versa. When a Penn State played gets arrested its a topic on the Pitt boards, when Pitt loses its a topic on the Penn State boards.  Its silly to say the rivalry is dead, because the rivalry anymore is strictly trash talking.  Its a great thing to settle the debate on the gridiron.  It would be great for the teams to play in every sport. It has recently been talked about playing in Basketball again.  The gap between Pitt-PSU Basketball is a little greater, than Pitt-PSU Football.  But why not play the game?  Penn State bringing Pitt to the Bryce Jordan might cause a stir and get them a sell out game.  A game at the Consol with the tickets down the middle would also be fun.  The schools are so close, they should play.  Plain and Simple.
              This article was clearly written from a Pitt point of view.  But to be fair, its how I was raised. Its how I am.  The rivalry was instilled in me from a young age.  It was made important to me early because I have a predominately Penn State extended family. But facts are facts.  And I will not take them away from Penn State.   Penn State is a huge school, thus creating a huge fan base. And with that fan base, they breed great support.  Pitt, not so much. Pitt is still a fairly large school, in a football town, with lots of fans. But for one reason or another, do not draw well. The sky is blue, the grass is green, and Pitt is only good for 40,000 fans for home games. It is what it is.  Also Penn State does not need Pitt on the home schedule to sell tickets, they can play a High School team and draw just as well.  But I think Penn State needs to realize, they do lack a true rival. They do not have that one circle your calender type game. Pitt can and will be that game. Pitt is Penn State's most frequent opponent in their history, meeting just shy of 100 games.(PSU is Pitt's 2nd most played game outside of WVU).  Alabama,Florida,Michigan, Texas,Oklahoma, Georgia,South Carolina, North Carolina,Virginia, Indiana,Illinois, Iowa, Colorado and more.  What do they all have in common?  Those states get to have in-state rivalry football games on a annual basis.  The Football driven State of Pennsylvania does not.   Something is wrong here.  Let's settle our differences, and agree to hate each other once a season for the rest of our lives.  Penn State fans know they hate Pitt, and Pitt fans know they hate Penn State.  Its a beautiful hate-hate relationship.  Let it grow.

Gerrit Cole: What does it all mean?

The Pittsburgh Pirates had the dubious task of choosing number one overall in the 2011 First Year Player Draft. In a year where there was no Stephen Strasburg or Bryce Harper, the league's doormat had to select one player that will allow them to avoid being a punchline, yet be an effective player for the franchise down the road. All things considered, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected Gerrit Cole a Right handed starter from UCLA.  The guy has the tools and makeup to be a front line ace for years to come.  With any top pick minus a clear cut number one guy of course there is scrutiny surrounding the choice.  Cole undoubtedly has the tantalizingly "stuff" that this organization obviously saw him to be the best choice.  The guy throws upwards of 98 MPH with a hard slider and a change up that improved over the course of his time as a Bruin.  He seems like a worthy player of the number one pick, and at that I have no problem with the pick, but like always his career will be linked to the number two pick Danny Hultzen of Seattle and sixth pick Anthony Rendon of Washington.  However he pans out, its a nice thing to see the Pittsburgh Pirates not shy away from big time talent and continue to draft the "best player available".  The Pirates being such a futile franchise for so long, it became a little outrageous that they were ducking away from the best players. The new regime under Huntingdon has been a refreshing change for that very reason.  The Pittsburgh Pirates have determined a plan on how they are going to win, and they are going the route of strong drafting.
        Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, and Roy Oswalt. The Philadelphia Phillies bought a dream rotation.  The put a rotation together in one year that is hardly rivaled by any other team in the league.  They are one of the few teams in baseball that can acquire such talent through free agency and trading.  Other teams can groom home grown talent, and make one splash in the trading market, than there are teams like Pittsburgh.  For the Pirates to ever match a rotation like that it has to come from within, and already the Pirates are aligning their weapons and will soon be ready to unleash them in Pittsburgh.   Gerrit Cole, last year's number two overall pick Jameson Taillon, and big time international signing Luis Heredia.  These are the potential "Big 3".  Drafting Gerrit Cole simply means that the Pirates are modeling themselves of some very successful small market teams of the past, most notably the Oakland Athletics framework of Mulder,Hudson, and Zito. This is how it needs to be done for a small market club, they are never going to see any sort significant free agent signing.
       Any skeptic of the Pittsburgh Pirate has the right to remain skeptical.  The franchise has not had a winning season in a couple seasons, to be generous.  The old management would draft "cheap" players like, Bryan Bullington,Daniel Moskos, and John Van Benschoten but this management has done quite the opposite.  They have gone after such talents like Pedro Alvarez, Jameson Taillon, and now Gerrit Cole.  They also take chances in later rounds, and the chances have been pricey, but should pay dividends down the line.  Once again the Pirates went after a deemed "unsignable" prospect in Josh Bell.    He went as far as to tell teams to not draft him as he seems pretty well committed to play at the University of Texas.  He is regarded as a top 20 player in this draft,and you have to love the gamble the Pirates took(They receive a compensation pick next season if he fails to sign,meaning the Pirates will add a top 60 pick likely just for drafting a player that won't sign this year).  As the saying goes, "everyone has a price", and you hope he does have a price, because he may pan out better than many of the first round picks.  The Pirates aggressive style has to be commendable, at the very least.  The skeptics of this franchise aren't going away, they still have not won.  They still have a small payroll, and not every prospect is playing how they should. Still, it is improving, you would have to be blind to not realize that.  The approach is better, by far.  And the overall mood in Pittsburgh is undoubtedly positive since the Pirates have been playing good ball, and you have to hope this team right here is the foundation for winning teams to come.

Halladay   Lee    Oswalt   Hamels











Cole  Taillon    Heredia.......Someday guys, Someday.
