Okay, it will be a few weeks yet, but when we start getting Atlantic League player signings it gets my attention.
Perennial all-star Josh Pressley's departure from Somerset for the new Sugar Land Skeeters is interesting. His numbers may have slipped a little last year but .297-16-75 still are pretty good, and everyone has to remember that the Patriots were really suffering through a down year. Since Pressley wanted the trade because he has family in the Sugar Land area, it is easy to predict he will be putting everything he has in that big bat out there to make an impression.
WINTER BASEBALL PRODUCTION
Not only did former Long Island Ducks mound ace Mike Loree turn in a strong performance in the Puerto Rican League championship series, as we noted in today's
Independent Baseball Insider column (five innings with one run and seven hits), but that performance followed by a few days a strong showing by another who starred on Long Island.
Randy Keisler, still a free agent (to the best of our knowledge), gave up just one hit and struck out seven in seven shutout innings in the Mexican Pacific League playoffs. Keisler, who also has pitched for Southern Maryland, was bouncing back from an earlier start in which he did not get out of the first inning.
