PARKS ON PIELA - "Jamie is about as feisty as they come. I love her aggressiveness and competitive spirit. She's willing to do whatever it takes to help us attain our goals as a team. Despite playing most of last season with a nagging wrist injury, Jamie battled every day. With her ability to hit the ball to all fields, we expect Jamie to be a major run producer in the middle of our lineup."
