Claxton Shield selection for your state is the highest individual honour in club baseball here in Victoria where you are ranked among the top 20 or so in the state.
Taking a Mike Sheahan approach with a month to go before the first pitch, who are the players in the elite bracket for this summer and the ones close to joining them by taking the next step.
Can you compare players in different divisions? Separate them between positions.

Homer, I think this one might a bit too sensitive for most people to touch.

nice idea for a thread, but I think I would struggle to name 50 guys playing in div 1. What is there 10 teams in divy 1, 9 guys in a side (10 with dh). That means 1 out of 2 gets in

Johne - I can see a hell of lot more guys making themselves available for Claxton Shield given the coaching staff this year.

No matter who coaches there is always going to be some player or players who dont like the coach, but I think a player who would deny themselves the chance to play claxton shield and represent their state because of a problem with a coach would be foolish. I would hope there is not many players who would not play because of coaching appointments.

So does Trav Blackley. Problem is with a list like this, as the hambino pointed out at number 47, you get finished and then remember the half a dozen or so guys you forgot.
BTW, I'd put both Bergs in and get rid of Danny Williams. He's not fit enough unless he's got himself back in shape.

he has lost some weight from when last saw him. and batted 350 in div 1 last year (just ask him and he'll tell ya)... so deserves his place. Trav i left out because he has really played much recently. but agree about both bergs

Where would your canteen be without us large baseballers?

Glad to hear Danny's back in shape. Was one of the best players we had when i coached him in rubberball and cubs. He'd challenge for a clacko spot if he is as fit as he was in juniors.
Never said there was anything wrong with the larger player. Just speculating that there weren't too many bigger waist lines in last year's clacko team.
Don't worry jp, i too was recently amongst the ranks of the larger gent.

well I'm surprised it has taken so long to someone to form a list like this, bambino well done, not a bad effort, but I would like to make a few additions and deletions if I may, 15 in fact. See what you think of these.
I will have Berg Trav Blackley Huber Moylan utting Stokes Reinke Wilson Sullivan Sanders Hill Hogan McKenzie Booth Bright
And we will lose
Land Flemming O'Malley Edwards Hardy Whitford (not Justin the skinny one) Ratcliffe ( you can have both of the back) Forbes Holmes Williams Aron Cassidy Jones (I assume you mean the guy from Melbourne) Caulfield (I thought he died)
As they say, opinions are like a***s#@*s everyone has one. and that is mine

Homer, I based in on last summer and before you say huber and moylan didn't play, I think they may just get in there. Fisher and Pollock didn't play, hodgey was on the original list and you MAY get Willis to push someone off
