The Beach Bums have acquired catcher Andrew Barbaro to complete a 2008 deal with the Sioux Falls Canaries of the American Association...
Barbaro played in 30 games for Sioux Falls as the backup catcher and hit .258 with seven doubles, a homer, and eight RBI...He posted two three-hit games including his first professional contest against St. Paul on May 16...The Canaries won the first half title in the American Association North Division and captured the American Association crown by besting the expansion Grand Prairie Airhogs and former Beach Bums outfielder Aaron Garza in a best-of-five series 3-1...Barbaro holds Rookie-2 status in the Frontier League...
While Barbaro has never been in a Beach Bums uniform he has experience at Wuerfel Park...Barbaro attended the Beach Bums open tryout prior to the 2007 season but was not signed...The 2007 tryout is where the Beach Bums inked Brett Bostelman, who is entering his third season with the team in 2009...
Traverse City used Matt Imwalle and Damon Lessler on the 2008 roster from the Canaries, and also dealt a veteran shortstop who had signed with the team in the offseason but did not play in the Frontier League...
