“We've taken our lumps the last two years, but we're hopeful to break into the playoffs this year. The league as a whole should start a lot of newcomers, so that should be an asset.”
Bruce Del Tondo
“We've gotten better as the year has gone along. We've taken our lumps but the scores are a lot better than last year. We haven't been getting blown out; last year we were getting beat 10-0, 9-0 and this year it's 3-1 and 4-2.”
Travis Heiser
“Because of our struggles we take nothing for granted. We've all taken our lumps together. We've been so close the past two years and are just now starting to get some respect in this league.”
Austin Kirby
“Generally speaking, maybe 25 percent of the tobacco contract holders in our area have taken their buyout in a lump sum. It varies a little by county, but not much.”
John Bartee
“I'm making strides. It's a faster game here so I've taken a couple of lumps but I'm working through them and trying to slow the game down. It's one thing learning to play a new position in the Minor Leagues. It's another trying to play a new position in the big leagues. So I'm trying to stay grounded about the whole thing and not get too caught up in trying to be perfect.”
Justin Huber
“It's the one time of year that people have a lump sum, a bunch of extra cash they can spend on that big-ticket item.”
Chris Woodruff
“It's a totally rebuilding year and we expect to take a lot of lumps.”
