Wow I just looked at the roster and they are REALLY hard up for pitching.

I'm friends with Vince Perkins' little brother. Vince has had a really hard time coming back from Tommy John. He really should not be on a team of this calibre.

And Bryan Dumesnil used to help out with my premier league team up in Nanaimo. I thought he was washed up. He's actually doing pretty well in the mid-minors. Who knew. Still shouldn't be on a team of this calibre.

And for those pencilling in Teahen or Stern or even Stairs, I'd be shocked if Nick Weglarz wasn't in the starting outfield.

And Brett Lawrie should not be on this team. I was umpiring the kid in the bc premier league last summer. He is good, but not senior national team best on best good. And he's definitely not a catcher. He doesn't even have a position.
