Itai Bar Jacks

 

After six years playing in the TBSBA, the Itai Bar Jacks participated in the league draft for the first time and took full advantage of it drafting seven players. Otherwise, the team looks much the same with a couple of exceptions.

 

The pitching staff will be bolstered by Joey Zanni, up from the Northwest Slam. Left-hander Zanni, completed his second year at St.Scholastica under Coach John Baggs and has developed into a formidable leftie. Veteran Bob Savioli will be another starter. Craig Pages, Mike Hernandez, rookies Jon Esquega, Adam Strey, and Aaron Abraham will also see action on the hill. Bob Jesperson, Frank Gigliotti, Bryan Graham, Warren Philp, Charlie Krawec, Dustin Reid, Aaron Abraham and Will Chilton will fill out the roster as position players. Al Stirrett and Gigliotti will see action behind the dish. Matt Baker, who completed his freshman year at Three Rivers University in Kamloops has rejoined the team after rehabbing from an injury.

 

Philp, Jesperson, Gigliotti and Savioli will handle the coaching. The Jacks have been busy in the trade department picking up two second round picks for the 2006 season. Finally, the Jacks would like to wish Sylvain Gervais well as he leaves for Quebec for a year. A valuable member of the Jacks for three seasons, Sylvain will be missed, not only by the Jacks, but by the league as he performed many key administrative and organizational roles for the TBSBA.
