Returnees
Natanael Toribio,
Steve Cuello, Chris Lopez,
Juan Arias, Matt Presvosti and
Carlo Francisco provide a solid core of seasoned veterans. Returning pitchers
Richard Villar and
Jose Albrincole should provide leadership to the pitching staff.
Emmanuel Velasquez and Jeff Ledesma should provide additional strength to a determined group of players.
"All of our guys have bought into what we are trying to do," commented Head Coach
James Cisco. "They are much more confident this year. They believe in the process and they believe in each other."
