We are actively looking for 2 foreign players for next season, available from mid-March.

What we are looking for is:

A dominating pitcher, top College D3 or higher, borderline or former pro. Has to be able to log a lot of innings (our man pitched over 120 last year). The ability to hit and play a secondary position is a bonus.

A top hitter, preferably Left-handed, preferably middle infielder. The ability to pitch a couple innings in relief is a bonus. Same level, borderline pro.

The guys we get have always been playing the year before, have legit stats available, don't smoke and have no drinking or drugs issues (random tests during the season).

We ask our guys to behave on and off the field since being around kids is involved.

The guys we will bring over will have to play on the team (2 practices and 2 games per week) and also be part of our youth coaching staff, following the development policy of our ballclub. The coaching part is actually a part that shouldn't be underrated since bringing up the level of our kids is our main concern.

In return, our 2 guys will share an apartment with an internet connection.
Food is being taken care of and we also give away a little extra money for the coaching. The plane ticket is also being reimbursed.

And last but not least, laundry is taken care of (not the ironing though)

That's not exactly a money making experience but our guys are usually thrilled by the fact they can continue to play competitive baseball while having a chance to be in Europe at no cost.

My name is Cagney Brigham! I am from the United States and and looking to play baseball in Europe! I recently had talks with the Belgian Champions, the Royal Greys and they told me to contact your team because you were looking for an infielder! Please email me back at cbrigham22@gmail.com if you would like more information! These are my statistics! I am also a pitcher for my collegiate summer league! My fastball is about 85-87mph and my off speed pitches are a cutfastball, splitfinger fastball, and curveball. My pitching stats from the summer are down below. I do feel that I am as good of a pitcher if not better. For my college there was a need for a middle infielder, that is why I played there instead.

In the summer league I did not hit because I was a pitcher and they used the designate hitter rule.

Thank you,

If you could send through your proposal for the 2008 season this would be much appreciated.

My stats are good, I hit .338 and Lewis plays in a wood bat league. I am a secondary ed major, so I have some teaching experience. I pitch some (lefty), but mainly I am an outfielder.
I don't graduate until May 8 or so, so I am not sure if that is too late for you.

We would like to thank everybody for the interest they showed in our offer.

We have found our 2 American players for March.

There might be an opened spot again after the US College season (late May/early June).

So we would then be aiming for a top NCAA pitcher who can play a position if needed or a former pro player who got released in 2007 or 2008.
