2010 BlueSox Coaching Staff Is Ready To Go!   Jason Wuerfel and Glenn Shararr Will Be Returning. .  The BlueSox ’09 team enjoyed great success on and off the field last summer and the team owner and General Manager knows who was responsible. “There is no doubt in my mind that our coaching staff has to receive the credit for the BlueSox winning season and perhaps in more importantly, the quality type of player we put on the field each night,” commented Leo Trich.   The BlueSox front office announced today that Jason Wuerfel, of Indianapolis, has agreed to come back to Butler in ’10. So too is his assistant coach Glenn Sharrar.   “It goes without saying that our players were talented athletes and were a good group of young men who came together well,” Trich continued. "But without the leadership, day in and day out, by our Head Coach Jason Wuerfel and his assistant coach,  we would not have accomplished so much in our very first year,” he said.   The Butler BlueSox were very competitive and in the hunt all season long. They were still looking at a chance at first place in the East Division until the final two days of the schedule. . Here is what Head Coach Wuerfel had to say. “I'm very excited to be coming back to Butler.  I had one of the best baseball experiences of my life managing the BlueSox in 2009 and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to come back in 2010,” stated Jason Wuerfel. “I was impressed how knowledgeable the fans are in Butler about the game of baseball and humbled by their passion and support” coach Wuerfel said. .   “I was satisfied that we were able to put a winning team on the field in our first season, but I am returning with the feeling of some unfinished business as it is my goal to bring a Prospect League Championship to Butler next summer,” Wuerfel said.  “Since we had a late start recruiting players last year, I was eager to get started putting the team together for 2010, and I feel like we have upped the ante considerably,” he suggested. “We have some very good players in 2009, but for 2010 I have pieced together a roster full of potential future Major Leaguers that the surrounding community will be both excited and proud to see represent Butler,” Wuerfel concluded.      BlueSox GM reflected about last season and the role his coaches played. “Anytime you put together a new franchise, in a new community, you never know how things are going to go,” said the BlueSox GM Trich. “And trust me, we had a share of challenges to work through during the learning process of our inaugural season. But one problem I never had to worry about was player personnel matters,” stated the GM.  “Coach Wuerfel had a sound, fair strategy from day one and his players responded extremely well – both at home and when we were on the road. Jason and Glenn had a comfortable working relationship and that in turn established a great relationship between the coaches and players,” he continued.     “I could not have been more proud with how our players conducted themselves all season long. How they played the game and how they connected with the Butler area fans. Jason and Glenn did a lot to make that happen,” Trich said.  "I am very pleased and feel very lucky to have them both back with is in 2010,” he concluded.
