ROLLINSFORD -- The Beacons 2008 roster grew by one more Wednesday after the team cames to terms with rookie slugger Josh Rosenson.
Rosenson is the second rookies to come up through the Beacons farm system along with Jason Claffey. He brings a strong throwing arm in the outfield and a solid bat along with a desire to contribute to his new team.
The team announced the deal after Rosenson passed a required physical when questions arose about a previous high sprain ankle injury he suffered during his collegiate basketball career at Portsmouth U.
"I am really excited about this opportunity," Rosenson said. "I'm sure I will be able to help the team win."
Beacons GM and Coach Bob Cook said he was also pleased that Rosenson decided to stick with the organization instead of pursing a professional basketball career in the NBA's Developmental League.
"Josh is another important puzzle piece that we needed to fill out our roster. I really like the way our team is shaping up," Cook said.
To date, the Beacons have signed nine players and hope to sign five more before spring training begins in April.

D-Man's back in town! Cauchon joins Beacons
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine -- Darryl "The D-Man" Cauchon will be reunited with his softball sidekick, Chris Sciaky, after agreeing to play for the expansion Beacons in 2008.
Cauchon, who Beacons Coach Bob Cook nicknamed, "X-treme Cauchon" because of his intensity, will give the Beacons a solid left-handed bat and a skilled glove in right field.
Cauchon said he is eager to bring some "personality" to his new team and give the fans plenty to cheer about on opening day.
"I told Coach that I would be more than happy to play as long as this team was going to be about fun first," Cauchon said.
Cauchon, a former member of the Isotopes in the Works Co-Ed League, is also a first-class long distance runner who has run the Boston Marathon and Red Hook's 5K.
After hearing about Cauchon's signing, Beacons fans immediately asked, "What about Jon Blain?"
Blain was a standout, all-star shortstop for the Isotopes in 2005 and is considered one of the most talented fielders and power hitters in softball.
Cook said he engaged in on-going talks with Blain's agent to see if the Beacons can persuade Blain to come out of retirement.
Cauchon said he would put a bug or two in his friend's ear to come onboard.
"Jonny and I are tight and where I go, he goes."
Let's hope the D-Man is right.
