Coach Partin on Abshire: "Absire brings excitement to our club. He's vocal and he's got a real bounce in his step. This guy is going to be fun to be around this summer. Energizer Bunny! He's got an athletic frame and he's a tough back-stop. Abshire's got plenty of arm strength too. He's in the 2.0-2.1 range right now. He sets up solid and receives the baseball well. He generates bat-speed with a good looking stroke from the right-side. We'll look for Abshire to help run the show this summer."

- Advice to Other Players Wanting to be a DIRTBAG: Go to an I.D. Camp and let it loose, give it all you got. You have to do something to separate yourself from all of the other great players out there.

What is a DIRTBAG to You?:
A Dirtbag is a "hard-nosed" baseball player, who respects the game, gives it his all, and will do anything to get his team the win.

What is Your Outlook on the Team's 2008 Season?: Watch out for the Dirtbags! I think we are loaded with talent. We've got a shot to win a lot of games. It's going to be a very fun season.
