Please keep them coming.<br /><br />The WCL is a very good summer wood-bat league, behind probably only the Cape Code and NorthWoods leagues. It's exceedingly difficult for freshmen (or incoming freshmen!) to have a lot of success in the WCL. Sean Watkins is a rare exception to the rule. It's also not an easy transition to go from being *the* superstar in high school to being just one of the regular guys in a player's first year of college.<br /><br />Boeke had a pretty decent freshman season at LMU: 121 AB, .289 BA, .355 SLG, .344 OBP and .917 fielding percentage, although all of these marks were technically below the corresponding figures for the overall team. Many freshmen simply ride the pine for most of their initial college season. I'd expect Boeke to have more success in his sophomore year and if he comes back to the WCL next summer then I wouldn't be surprised to see him earn a starting role. He has a bright future and he'll only get better with the experience that he'll pick up in the next 12 months.Gushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961930177781793610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323076786048234374.post-44109240645228653442014-07-17T10:05:20.673-07:002014-07-17T10:05:20.673-07:00Annie - I could agree with MORE with your comments...Annie - I could agree with MORE with your comments. The young men that don't get playing time, and barely have any organized team practice or coaching, are expected to get into the game and play at peak performance. They are all used to practicing and playing 6-8 hours a day at school, and they come here and not only don't play but don't practice either. They have very little opportunity to keep up their game and their skills in this situation! Ted Boeke for one - is a stand out player and was a stellar performer at LMU in his freshman year. Whatever the situation is up there, its not good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323076786048234374.post-82991529046198342362014-07-17T08:38:49.973-07:002014-07-17T08:38:49.973-07:00Last night the HarbourCats did put some fresh bloo...Last night the HarbourCats did put some fresh blood into the lineup: Ted Boeke 3B, and John Grimsley LF. Despite the errors, it was nice to see them get the opportunity to play but it is hard to stay sharp when you're not playing.Annienoreply@blogger.com
