 Q: What was your initial reaction when you found out you got the Garcia #3 slot? A: I know the Garcia #4 and #5 slots may have been better, but beggers can't be choosers. I am just glad we landed in the Garcia. I don't see the Warriors pitching Hatt/Bortmas 2 times vs. us, so I think we can hang with them. It will be fun for me to play four times against my former team, King Friday. I now hope the Flying Squirrels land in the Garcia as well. It would be fun to have my current and former teams all together. Q: A lot of teams are already writing Belgian off, do you think you can compete? A: I am putting a lot of faith in my two rookies, Travis Strojny and Stephen Farkas, and it appears no one else is taking them serious. When I was building this team I knew I needed some veterans to help out our youth movement, so I made a strong push to land the NN Boys, Nick Braden and Josh Nagorski. Nick will see a lot of time on the mound and will compliment the two rookies well. Nagorski in my opinion is one of the most underarted hitters in the league and I think he will have an All-Star caliber year. Q: Belgian had two home fields in 2013, where will their home be this season? A: We definitely won't be playing at the Wiffle Iron, and I really don't want to return to Wiff-Hill Grounds unless it is last resort. Installing 200' of fencing isn't fun. We will be Downriver and we may also stay at Mercure Park at another location. Once the weather gets a little nicer I am going to scout some places out. I don't mind using maybe 100' of silt fencing, but I would like to find some fencing already in place. We may even look at Brownstown Middle School for our home. We will know for sure before April 1. |
