Elkhorns Softball: May 2010

New Management brings new things. This year the Elkhorns held their first spring evaluation camp on Saturday April 24th at the Gateway Community Club.

Casual Observer was not observing casually on this day, rather he was watching quite closely the talent presented to him. "overall it was a nice look-see I would say" enamored Casual. " I saw some good things out there, and of course some things that need a little work."

Notably the Elkhorn GM was not present as it was rumored he was spotted face down at the German Club during evaluations. "We've discussed his attendance at these events and I think we have met on common ground" indicated Casual.

As with all great clubs, there are always holdouts. Les was spotted driving by the facility around 5 pm and noted "I just wanted to see if the guys were out there..I can't play during negotiations though". Apparently Les is asking for 1/2 bag of Spitz for every game and Casual is holding firm with the teams budget.

Casual had a clip board and here are the notes:

Hugh....big glove, bad vision, big bat...needs work on throw to first to not hit base runner.

Tiny.....good glove, good vision, great potatoes....keep on team (as long as home cooked meals continue)

Rode....this guy will bring in the fans...he's big and strong...needs work on his drinking though

Ollie.....good speed,,,manages his drink well while catching...try to acquire if possible

Lauren...very unassuming in all her play,,rarely make mistakes,,

Kelly....surprisingly rusty at bat...the rest was vintage Kelly,,,,needs to work on limiting her tardiness.

Summer...clearly a gap to fill....and a very very big gap...(we'll leave it at that)

Stef...quick and full of energy....will attempt to recruit in off season

"I still have some recruiting to do...and have a few additional folks in the works...I can't discuss it right now until the deal is done." murmured Casual.

Pictured is who is rumored to being "wooed" by Casual...none other than Elanor "bunt" McKenzie!
