Duquette Returns

Dan Duquette is back in action running a team. This time, he'll be running a collegiate summer team:


Duquette told the Berkshire Eagle that he's received preliminary approval from the New England Collegiate Baseball League to move the Thread City Tides of Willimantic, Conn., to the Dan Duquette Sports Academy in Hinsdale.

NECBL officials did not return telephone calls seeking comment, but said earlier this month that an owner of a sports camp in the Pittsfield area wanted to bring a team to the Berkshires.


Pittsfield lost its independent league team to New Haven, so at least there will be some baseball in the area this summer. I had never heard of this league before, I'll have to check it out this summer.

Can he claim Manny Ramirez from irrevocable waivers?

Seems to be a lot of movement in the NECBL this year. There was a team in Middletown, CT right across the river from me for the past several years...but they are leaving (I forget for where).

dave: necbl is a wooden bat league similar to cape cod league, with lesser quality talent but generally same makeup.

To say that the NECBL has lesser quality talent is simply not true.
