DePriest named All-Star

September 21, 2007 by Jason Guarente

Derrick DePriest was the only member of the Barnstormers to make the postseason All-Star team. Rather than snubbing a big name, the Atlantic League also honored Danny Graves. So they’re co-relievers of the year.

Jeff Scott of the Road Warriors won manager of the year. Brian Adams of Somerset is pitcher of the year. Victor Rodriguez and Jesse Hoorelbeke shared player of the year honors.

Here’s the complete list …

Catcher: Randy McGarvey, Camden
First base: Jesse Hoorelbeke, Bridgeport
Second base: Javier Colina, Newark
Shortstop: Ramon Castro, Newark
Third base: Jay Caligiuri, Bridgeport
Outfield: Carl Everett, Long Island
Outfield: Mike Lockwood, Somerset
Outfield: Steven Doetsch, Road Warriors
Outfield: Ray Navarrete, Long Island
Utility: Pete Rose Jr., Long Island
Utility: Nate Espy, York
Designated hitter: Victor Rodriguez, Newark
RH pitcher: Gary Knotts, Newark
LH pitcher: Brian Adams, Somerset
Closer: Danny Graves, Long Island
Closer: Derrick DePriest, Lancaster

The Barnstormers’ Danny Gonzalez was passed over and it’s a shame, but I don’t take any postseason All-Star team with 12 position players and four first basemen too seriously.

Congrats to Derrick DePriest. He deserved to be on the all-star team.

MY first thought was….is this a softball team…4 outfielders????

Then I remember that they added the two utility positions in this year’s changes, too.

How about a defensive player of the year?? I would understand that better than 3 extra fielder spots.

Stormin it looks like our campaigning might have paid off? haha. Steve Doetsch also had a terrific year. Tied a RW record with 22 home runs! Vito should be on the list but the talent at 1B is just unbelievable between Rodriguez, Rose, Hoorelbeke, Espy, etc.

True rwfan…the most highly talented position in this league is first base. Even on the roadwarriors….they have both Bladergroen and Vito…both of those guys are preety good.haha.

Hi cj… That was my worst subject in nursing school.
I bought whole wheat bread yesterday and told Dwight that we will be eating healthier from now on. So if you have any pointers… send them my way.
Big D watching the FL/ NC game???

Yes Amy. Last season a Road Warrior actually won that position, Mike Huggins. Amazing season.

Cylo really needs a bath. I think it would bring his fur back to life… ya know, it’s fair season and the cows are getting all prettied up !!!

Sydney- he watched the UNC game…. I don’t think he was too happy. During class I was watching the game tracker thing on ESPN for the Syracuse vs. Louisville game. I’m so happy Syracuse finally won a game…. I’m sorry Duke lost at the last bit.

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. Anyone going to listen to game 3 tonight??? Brian Adams did well last night!!

Hi cattyj… I was visiting the neighbors tonight which involves lots of beer
Poor D… I don’t think USF even had a football program when I lived down there.
I was thrilled that Cuse beat Louisville… it’s about time they won!!!! And hey, how about those EAGLES? It took me 10 minutes to figure out the vintage uniform thing, yellow and light blue? Wasn’t till I actually saw McNabb’s face that realized I had the correct game on TV.
The house seems so quiet with the boys of summer gone I’m looking forward to the booster club meeting Wednesday night.
