2007 AAU Roster – Team Minnesota

Thursday, January 4th, 2007



(Photo: Gerald Muizellaar, regarded as one of the best pitchers in the world, shown pitching for Team Minnesota at the 2006 AAU, where they took 2nd among 28 teams)

Last Year’s Runner-up to Return to AAU

Team Minnesota is pleased to announce it’s roster for the 2007 AAU International Tournament. Team Minnesota is looking to improve upon it’s Runner-Up finish in last year’s event, losing to Team USA in the Championship Game. Team Minnesota returns 10 players from last year’s team and adds four players for next month’s event in Orlando, Florida. Additions to the 2007 roster are Chad Boom and Frank DeGroat, Jr. (who were members of the 2006 AAU Championship team, Team USA that beat Minnesota), as well as BJ Boom and Tony Kunka.

Editor’s notes: Team Minnesota was unknown to many at the 2006 AAU, though their players were not. Certainly anytime Gerald Muizellaar takes the mound, you are capable of beating anyone. The 2006 squad was a combination of veterans like Roman Foore and youngsters like the Goring brothers, Zach and Lucas. Fiore launched what may have been the longest home run ever hit at the Disney complex in Orlando at the 2006 tournament, a towering, moon-shot that cleared both the regulation and slo-pitch fence. In 2006, Team Minnesota knocked off an ISC World class Hallman Twins team to reach the finals, and look to be among the pre-tourney favorites to do so in 2007, adding two members of last year’s championship TEAM USA squad, Chad Boom, and Frank DeGroat, Jr. Boom is perhaps the most consistent hitter on Team USA, a veteran of several ISF campaigns, while DeGroat, Jr. was a one-man wrecking crew, earning Most Valuable Player at last year’s tournament.

Team Minnesota’s full roster can be found online at http://www.teamminn.minnesotafastpitch.com

AAU Roster – Texaco Pirates, Bahamas

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007


The first in a continuing series of team profiles leading up to this month’s AAU International tournament, January 18-21, 2007 in Orlando, FL.

The Texaco Pirates of the Bahamas will return to Orlando once again for this year’s AAU International. The Pirates have done well in past tournaments and continue to improve their roster each year. In 2004, they were the Consolation champions. In 2005, they came within a hair’s breath (one run) of knocking off eventual 2005 Champions, Circle Tap of Wisconsin, in a see-saw battle. This past summer, the Pirates travelled to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada for their first trip to “The Show”, the ISC World Tournament.

Roster additions for 2007 include two pitchers from that 2005 Circle Tap championship team, Dewey Dyck and Rob Scheller, along with Doug Sleep, to go with their resident ace, Edney Bethel. Bethel (featured on the cover of fastpitchwest.com at the moment) swings a good stick as well, so look for his bat to be in the lineup when he’s not pitching. Keep an eye on William Weatherford as well, as he has shown that he can hit the best pitching the tournament has to offer. Circle Tap’s Kyle Magnusson will also join the Pirates for the AAU, and makes the team a solid contender for the 2007 title.

The Pirates will be hosting their own tournament in May, 2007, at their home field on “Man-o-War” Cay, in the Bahamas. Teams interested can contact Haziel McDonald, the Pirates manager.

So Cal Bombers sign Rodriguez & Lalonde

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

From Al’s Fastball

YUCAIPA, CA – The So Cal Bombers are pleased to announce the signings of Landy Rodriguez and Adam Lalonde for the 2007 season. Rodriguez is a current, and Lalonde a former, member of the USA National team and played last season with the NY Patsy club in the ISC World Tournament.

At the recent Pan Am Qualifier event, Rodriguez hit .294 with 2 home runs and 5 RBI, while leading the USA team with a .725 slugging percentage. He also hit .500 in the WT with a homerun and 2 RBI.

Lalonde is one of the games fastest players and has a combined average of .282 over the past two WT with 5 HR’s, and is widely regarded as one of the best defensive CF’s in softball. Adam is very familiar with many of the Bombers players and management, having helped them win a NAFA WT in 2004.

Head Coach Kelly McGiffin said he’s excited about these two additions and the Bomber’s roster as a whole.

“Going into the off season, one of our main goals was to add some hitters to the middle of our order and this really tops off that accomplishment. We’ve added key components like Potskin, Santillano and Crawford; and these additions really solidify our attack. Landy provides us another bat to complement the heart of the order and makes for a strong and deep offensive lineup.

Adding Lalonde to the top of our order allows us to use Ghostkeeper’s bat in other spots further solidifying the overall lineup. And with Lalonde and Pinocchio, it gives us what may be the two fastest men in softball.

Defensively we are very solid up the middle with deep catching (Ghostkeeper, Box & Rodriguez); great speed and gloves at middle infield (Butler and Pinocchio) and of course in CF (Lalonde). And our corners in both the outfield and infield are solid with any combination of Rodriguez, Mendibles, Devine, Porto, Santillano, Crawford, Parra and Potskin.

These two players give us great experience at the highest level and individuals that we think add value on and off the field.”

So Cal’s ownership, staff and players welcome Landy and Adam to the Bombers and look forward to a great 2007 season.
