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.
