BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ECSUalum]

2009 MLB draft 6pm start is 06/09/09
I am currently in the Midwest waiting for the Super Regionals to begin hence my unfortunate time difference from back in the East Coast.
It seems like a tight knit community in the New England Area, to be honest there is more talent at the D 2 and 3 levels than D I. As for  BC, Umass,Northeastern, and Uconn have very good potential talent particularly pitching
DIII is a different story, we want players to mature and grow at a certain rate, size is key, I have kept in contact with  players from Southern Maine, Wheaton (MA),Trinity (CT)

SCOUT66,

Many thanks for your input.

It is great that we hear from you on potential d3 talent

Best regards, and

good luck with the draft tomorrow

Oshdude does a great job monitoring/updating d3 players in the Major/Minor leagues over on the "National Topics" thread!!

Here is Scott Chiasson latest Mexican League, (Quintana Roo Tigres) stats:

Team League W L ERA G  GS CG SHO SV  IP     H R ER HR BB SO GO/AO AVG
TIG     MEX      4 1 2.38 30 0   0     0   19 34.0 24 9  9   1  13  22   1.55 .205

Looks like all in relief!!

I wonder if Baltimore made a mistake releasing him

with the 1079 pick of the draft the Cincinnati Redlegs take Chris Burelson SS - Southern Maine.

Congratulations to all those selected and most of all Chris Burelson from the LEC and Coach clipboard on his son Regan being selected by the Mariners as well.

Shawn Gilblair did not get a chance to pitch

When he arrived at the ballpark they told hiim he was not pitching because they had so many pitchers on the roster.

On another note Ryan is still out there.

Thanks for the info,

Did not realize Ryan was as near to me as Bridgeport!!

Good to see him pitching. now in Jersey.

Hope You and the fam are having a good summer!!!

Hope Shawn finds what he is looking for!!!

See ya

Does anyone know if Gilblair has signed as a free agent? If someone doesn't pick him up it would be a shame. I saw him a couple of times and he just knows how to play the game and deserves a chance.

Just my 2 cents. What are the scouts looking for??

He has not heard anything and doesn't expect to at this point.  I think his injury issues has had something to do with it.  If you ask me many get overlooked from DIII every year but I'm not a scout.  The one thing I hear and has been written on this board is size is key. but that doesn't always work either look at D'alfonso for USM, he had a big couple years won a lot of New England awards and didn't make the draft.  Hope he signed somewhere and gets a chance.  Big kid.

Fellow LEC Fans,

Hope ya'll are having a great early summer. Wet as it may be.

I have given this much thought and decided I have unfairly called Eastern Connecticut The Evil Empire whilst all along TEE may actually reside in my own backyard.

Congrats to KSC The Real TEE in the LEC
