Year 2007
This was the year of Aron Kurz' arm.
Being the first full year playing in a league that included the Brewers, which was formed mainly by former Dawgs, and a bunch of recruits. How did it go? Well, those players who left made the difference, that's for sure. Our level went waaaaay down - we not only missed Zeke and Alberto's skills on the mound and behind the plate, but we missed their bats, Julio's bat as well, and their maturity, and stick-to-it-ness.
Our new players, while very promising, will take some time to develop. We have faith in them, especially in Aron Kurz's arm, and our rookie with the best attitude - "Mamma".
For a while, we also had Dudu Zozin, who also has a very good attitude, and Yan Kaminer. But unfortunately, our tough schedule (we play at 9PM, finish at 11PM, and quite often don't get home before midnight) was tough on Yan, and Dudu decided to go over to baseball.
We had a transfer addition - Eyal Moses, from the Tigers, who is indeed a very, very talented player.
We only won one game in the spring, and that was thanks to Natan Mandel's recruiting talents. He plays in a Sunday pick-up game in Jerusalem, and brought in THREE of his buddies, in order to allow us to play against Crazy Richards, and not forfeit. For that game with Avi Dzik on the mound, Nissan Hirsch at second, and Arik Singer at first (with Shmuel Goldstein behind the plate [!]), the Dawgs outlasted the Crazies, and ended it up 15 to 13.
