In a surprise move yesterday, Justin Johnson agreed to re-join the Wiffleball Furies. This is after a whole Winter of talk of him and Collin Conway joining Jackmove. And the last time I talked to Justin he was talking about starting his own team but that apparently has fallen through.
This is great news for the Furies who almost lost their most dominant pitcher. The Furies were in serious trouble and were close to folding until Justin agreed to come back for them. Furies team captain Kelly Frost could not be reached for comment.
Justin also has another player interested in joining the Furies and Collin Conway will most likely be joining too. Collin played in a handfull of games last year and should improve this season with more playing time.
The other team Justin was thinking of joining, Jackmove, didn't come away empty-handed in the deal. After Justin agreed to rejoin the Furies, Jackmove signed Reggie Williamson to their roster. Reggie should make an instant impact and will help in the field and at the plate.
Jackmove is also looking to re-sign Zac Warren and have Mike Jones join their roster.

Northern Division News
So it is sounding like some form of the Red Lion Ringers will be playing in season 2 of the CCWA. I talked to Karlis "the Armbar" Liepa and "Downtown" Austin Brown yesterday and they both expressed interest in playing. They said they would get in touch with Max "Baby Meat" Fisher and see about getting a team together.
Reggie Williamson also agreed to join the league yesterday. It's unknown at this time which team will sign Reggie. He is an accomplished softball player and should add some punch to whatever lineup he's added to.
The status of the Wiffleball Furies is completely in the air at this time. It doesn't look like they will have a full roster in time for league play and may need to join another team. The status of Justin Johnson and Colin Conway is totally in the air right now. It is still unknown whether or not they will start their own team or play for either the Furies or Jackmove.
Jackmove is close to having former Fuck Stick captain Mike Jones join the team. This would mark the second time in league history that brothers have played on the same team. The first was last season when the Bruce Lee Wannabes had both Spencer and Garrett Booth on their team.
Garrett Booth's new team, Quiznos, is looking like they will have a full roster. Joining Garrett so far are rookies Ryan Anderson, Avish Bhalani, Doug Dobyns, Nic Clark and Caesey Madden. I have played wiffleball before with Caesey and know that he is capable of winning Rookie of the Year and quite possibly MVP. The man can hit some bombs.
As for the Lexington Brewers, it looks like Matt Bailey who played in the first Jones Field tournament two summers ago will be joining the team. It looks like they have one more roster spot and that may go to Brandon Champagne.

Timmy Kramer has been practicing...
League sources say that Timmy Kramer, of the Lexington Brewers, has been seen recently working on his batting. He fell short last season of accomplishing his dream of playing in the CCWA World Series and is going to do everything in his power to make it happen this season.
It looks like he will be one of two aces on the pitching staff. With his sidearm delivery teamed up with the wily Brian Eyer they should provide enough pitching to lead this team to the playoffs. Rumor has it that Timmy has been working on the elusive riser.
Last season ended up a major disappointment for Timmy. After batting a dismal .220 last season with one measely homerun, it sounds like he decided he needed on off-season regimen to compete with the better hitters in the league like Dusty Kirk, Jim Hewey, Karlis Liepa, Matt Jones and basically everybody on the loaded Laurelhurst Pirates.
We recently obtained photographs of Kramer working on his form. We are publishing them for the first time anywhere.
