Although the confirmation of the Italian Baseball and Softball Federation (FIBS) is outstanding, but is expected to come on Saturday, the North East Kings are already working on establishing a 2011 roster after several months of uncertainty. 31-year-old new manager Daniele Fuzzi is welcoming back the 2009 Dominican battery of right-handed pitcher Emmanuel Ulloa and catcher Danilo Sanchez.
The 32-year-old former minor leaguer Ulloa had a 2-8 record with an ERA of 2.78 in 2009. He struck out 74 in 81 innings, walking 38. Sanchez is 30 years old and played in 2008 and 2009 for Godo. He had a batting average of .269 in 76 games. He is replacing Marco Sabbatani behind the plate, who has left for Fortitudo Bologna.
