Raptors update
Pioneer League
Believe it or not, the expansion has officially begun. The last of the environmental soil samples have been completed. Barring any negative results of those samples, R & O will be rolling in heavy equipment very soon.
The 2008 Raptors Coaching Staff is now official. Former major leaguer Mike Brumley has been chosen to be the Skipper for this season. Mike is no stranger to managing in the minors. He spent three seasons as the skipper of the old Salt Lake Stingers. We welcome his arrival and look forward to working with him. Let's cross our fingers that we can finally over take those bad boys from Orem. Craig Bjornson will return for a third season as Pitching Coach along with Henry Cruz returning for his second season as the Hitting Coach. Pete Hite will return as Trainer and the Strength and Conditioning Coach has not yet been named. The Minor League Coordinators for the Dodgers will remain in tact with the exception of Rodney McCray joining the staff as the Hitting Coordinator. McCray is most noted for crashing completely through the outfield wall in Portland back in the 80's. Google his name and you can see the video. Former Raptors Skipper Jeff Carter will manage the GCL Dodgers and Juan Bustabad will move up and manage the Great Lakes Loons of the Midwest League.
There are still a few Suites left for leasing. I want to get started on the construction of the Suites within the next 30 days so if you are interested, email me and I will send you the outline of the Suites and what will come with them. Don't delay! I need to move quickly.
I have mentioned it before and I'll mention it again. We have acquired our own screen- printing equipment to produce t-shirts and other apparel items. If it's flat, we can screen it for you. If your company or family needs custom screen-printing, I'll make you a deal. Regardless of quantity, I will print any white tee shirt with one color imprint for only $3.00! I dare you to beat that price. If you can, I will match it. Please add .50 cents for each additional color you may want to include. If you have any other shirt colors you would like to have, just let me know and I will price it for you. Please email me if you wish me to talk to you about printing you apparel. You can also call me at 393-2400.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions and concerns you may have. For those who haven't paid for your 2008 Season Tickets, we would appreciate anything you could do to send it in now.
That's all for now. Thanks
