Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4723362, member: 2504"] One thing to remember about the Futures League is that in the totem pole of collegiate summer baseball leagues in New England, it ranks below the Cape Cod League and the NECBL. I think of it as an entry level summer league, as there are usually a few incoming college players who just completed their final year of high school ball, as well as having a goodly number of college players who play for schools that are not in D1. For instance, Norwich had several players on the roster this season from ECSU. Still, I have to say it wouldn't surprise me if Matt Malcom ends up making some very nice contributions to the team when he starts playing for UConn. He played in 6 games for Norwich, looked fine at the plate on offense, and stole a couple bases in his time in Norwich as well. I'm thinking it will be an interesting competition for playing time at catcher between him and Garbowski during the fall ball season. [/QUOTE]
