A symphony for the FL?
Apparently, the city of Westfield, Ind., is on the Frontier League's radar.
A recent story in the Westfield Star mentioned that a mixed-use development called Symphony includes plans for a ballpark. The Star quotes Paul Estridge, who came up with the idea of the development, as saying he has a "handshake agreement" with the Frontier League to have a team at the stadium. He already is considering a team name, which he doesn't want to divulge yet.
The stadium will seat about 5,000.
The Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau originally brought the idea to Estridge, and it evolved from there. A ballpark could bring in visitors, and the Visitors Bureau liked Estridge's site because it had "momentum," said Karen Radcliff, deputy director of the tourism group.
Westfield is located north of Indianapolis and Carmel, Ind. The location is good one for the Frontier League, which badly needs a team in central or northern Indiana. Westfield is not far from Interstate 70.

Middle of January and still no word of a manager? What is going on up on the hill?
Chris, please give some insight on what's going on with the Wild Things.
Thank you!
From the Frontier League official site:
WASHINGTON WILD THINGS: Placed LHP Craig Snipp on the retired list.
Peterson too, Swiss
Washington could not be a symphony in the Frontier League because you need a conductor (something like a manager).
Indiana will be a great place for Kalamazoo to relocate to.
