This isn't the full list of player's that made the team, but it is the one's I can remember made it from this area. It was in the Kingsport times today.

That list is a mockery to those on there that deserve it. Whats the point of having four catchers on first team? Pathetic.

[rookie83]

Who were the other catchers .. aint there supposed to be only 2?

[1inStripes]

Why wouldnt there just be one since it is all region? 2 were from the CMD, 1 from the LPD and 1 from the CD if I am not mistaken. I cannot remember their names.

[rookie83]

i agree on that but i don't think they did it that way last year did they?

Well I know that most of the girls on there deserve it. I know for a fact the pitcher of the year is correct. Marie had an 11-0 season and a 0.70 ERA. She also posted a .433 batting average.

Im not knocking the players, its not their fault. Its the coaches and this whole, we don't want to hurt anyones feelings approach. When should there ever be 4 first team catchers? Only one should advance per district, much less landing 2 on the all region team. There's no doubt about the players of the year, I just don't like the multiples at other positions. Pick a 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, C, 3 pitchers maybe and 3 OF, a DH and a UT and move the rest to 2nd team and HM.

[Margarette]

Yes and I agree with that point. I don't know why they named so many catchers. There is really no point to it.

[NotSoSilentBob]

8 catchers?

I could make some comments, but I shall refrain. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif[/img]
