Among the other players returning are outfielder Charlie Kingrey who led the team in RBIs and home runs last season, infielder Bryan Cartie who topped the team in batting average, infielder Shon Landry (LCM) who was tops in stolen bases and pitchers Derek Blacksher (BC), Chris Denton and Sam English.
