<\/span>Jaguars coach Erick Bryant didn&#8217;t want to get ahead of himself, but agreed his team should be improved from last year, when the Jags went 2-10.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>&#8220;We&#8217;re still going to have to win some shootouts,&#8221; he said.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>&#8220;But we&#8217;re putting the pieces together.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>We&#8217;re right there knocking at the door.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>I know these kids can compete, it&#8217;s just learning how to finish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The biggest test as always for an upcoming program is how their pitching and fielding will go, and Bryant feels he has two solid options on the mound in Ramiro Rosalez and Ray Hisquierdo.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>&#8220;If we can get some innings from Martin Agredano, it&#8217;ll be a huge lift.&#8221;<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Rosalez is the team leader, according to Bryant, and his performance this year will dictate whether or not the Jags can notch some upsets.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>&#8220;We&#8217;re just going to hop on his back,&#8221; he says.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>&#8220;He&#8217;s our captain, and we&#8217;re going to ride him.&#8221;<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>Upsets would mean more involvement from the school, and a general boost to morale at a school without a baseball history.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>&#8220;We&#8217;re just trying to continue to build the foundation,&#8221; says Bryant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>The Team<o:p><\/o:p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In addition to the pitchers above, Bryant is happy with the continued improvement in his team&#8217;s ability to hit.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>Sophomore shortstop Louie Terrazas was an all-league player last year, and is hitting over .500 through Cabrillo&#8217;s nonleague schedule, which admittedly won&#8217;t feature the talent the league does.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>Backing up the excellent little slugger Terrazas is senior outfielder Luis Venegas, who Bryant expects to be a high performer this year (he leads the team in percentage at 7-11 so far this season).<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>Rounding out the lineup are Armondo Perez, the excellent second baseman and solid hitter Wesley Madera, catcher Chris Salinas, and third baseman Lester Norsweather.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lbpost.com\/sports\/general\/8952\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to see where Cabrillo stands in the 2010 Moore League Coaches&#8217;
