11/26-Come
March there will be some new people donning the maroon and white
of the Moby Dick Whalers.
After
the departure of sparkplug Catcher Jesse Fierro and hit machine
Trina Taylor the Whalers announced some changes of their own.
At a team barbeque, that served to lionize the squad for a for
a fourth place finish in San Diego, the team announced the acquisition
of veteran players Arnold Martinez, Bruce Trevthick, and Carl
Smith.
Arnold
Martinez, a veteran player can play the infield as well as out
where, with the recent loss of Kris Morow, Trevthick gives the
Whalers another experienced infielder. Carl Smith got to know
the Big Fish during the San Diego Tournament as a pick up player.
"These
are all players who have played with us in tornaments, "
said manager Matt Florio, "so they are no stranger to Big
Fish ball"
Sadly,
other Whalers' regulars announced their departure, along with
Morow and Taylor, Rob Steele, Robert LeBeau (close to signing
with the Roughriders) and Alan Flatt will be on limited Whalers'
duty next season. Few Whalers, such as Tony "Boo-Boo"
Plaza have yet to announce their plans for next season.
