BEACH BUMS SIGN VERSATILE OUTFIELDER

2/8/2010

Traverse City MI-- The Traverse City Beach Bums have signed outfielder Paul Cruz to the 2010 roster.

"Cruz is an experienced player with above average defensive ability at all three outfield positions,” said Beach Bums’ Director of Baseball Operations, Jason Wuerfel. “Offensively, he is a top of the order hitter who can draw a walk, won't strike out, and if the pitcher makes a mistake, he has the ability to pop a ball out of the park."

BEACH BUMS ADD BULLPEN DEPTH

2/2/2010

Traverse City MI-- The Traverse City Beach Bums have announced the addition of RHP Richard Folmer to the 2010 roster.

“We are lucky to add a pitcher with Folmer's talent to our staff,” said Beach Bums' Director of Baseball Operations, Jason Wuerfel. “He is a strikeout pitcher and has a great deal of experience as a closer. Having a guy with his ability as an option late in games is a big advantage for our squad, and we expect great things out of him this summer.”

The Traverse City Beach Bums are entering their fifth season of play in 2010, with the home opener scheduled for Friday, May 28th versus the Oakland County Cruisers. The Beach Bums will play 54 of their 96 games at home in 2010. Season tickets are now on sale -- please phone 231-943-0100.
